Expression profile of alpha-crystallin in developing mouse lens.
<p>The expression of <i>Cryaa</i> (blue) and <i>Cryab</i> (orange) at different developmental time points was normalized to <i>Gapdh</i>. A logarithmic trend line (red) fits the <i>Cryab</i> expression with an R<sup>2</sup> value of 0.7742. The x-axis and y-axis represent developmental time points and normalized expression of each mRNA, respectively.</p
Two-point LOD scores of chromosome 11q markers for families A) PKCC001 and B) PKCC113.
<p>The asterisk indicates marker included in the genome-wide scan.</p
Sequence chromatograms of causal mutations identified in PKCC001 and PKCC113.
<p>Sequence chromatograms of A) Unaffected individual 15 homozygous for wild-type allele; B) unaffected individual 17 heterozygous and C) affected individual 19, homozygous for c.34C>T (p.R12C). Sequence chromatograms of D) unaffected individual 6 homozygous for wild-type allele, E) unaffected individual 8 heterozygous and F) affected individual 10 homozygous for c.31C>T (p.R11C). The arrows point to c.31C and c.34C of <i>CRYAB</i> mutated in PKCC113 and PKCC001, respectively. It is worth to note that mutations identified in PKCC001 and PKCC113 are adjacent amino acids i.e. Arg11, and Arg12.</p

Expression profile of lens intrinsic membrane protein 2 (<i>Lim2</i>) in the developing mouse lens.
<p>The expression of <i>Lim2</i> at different developmental time points was normalized to <i>Gapdh</i>. The x-axis and y-axis represent developmental time points and normalized expression of <i>Lim2</i> mRNA, respectively.</p
Primer sequences used for the amplification of <i>LIM2</i> coding exons.

Expression profile of glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 2 in the developing mouse lens.
<p>The expression of <i>Gcnt2</i> at different developmental time points was normalized to <i>Gapdh</i>. The x-axis and y-axis represent the developmental time point and the normalized expression level of <i>Gcnt2</i> mRNA, respectively. Note: red line: expression of <i>Gcnt2</i>; blue dashed line: linear regression.</p
