Altered aggregation properties of mutant gamma-crystallins cause inherited cataract (2002)
Journal Article
Sandilands, A., Hutcheson, A., Long, H., Prescott, A., Vrensen, G., Löster, J., …Quinlan, R. (2002). Altered aggregation properties of mutant gamma-crystallins cause inherited cataract. The EMBO Journal, 21(22), 6005-6014. https://doi.org/10.1093/emboj/cdf609

Protein inclusions are associated with a diverse group of human diseases ranging from localized neurological disorders through to systemic non-neuropathic diseases. Here, we present evidence that the formation of intranuclear inclusions is a key even... Read More about Altered aggregation properties of mutant gamma-crystallins cause inherited cataract.

Association of the nuclear matrix component NuMA with the Cajal bodyand nuclear speckle compartments during transitions in transcriptionalactivity in lens cell differentiation (2002)
Journal Article
Gribbon, C., Dahm, R., Prescott, A., & Quinlan, R. (2002). Association of the nuclear matrix component NuMA with the Cajal bodyand nuclear speckle compartments during transitions in transcriptionalactivity in lens cell differentiation. European Journal of Cell Biology, 81(10), 557-566. https://doi.org/10.1078/0171-9335-00275

The transcriptional status of cells can be deduced from the staining pattern of various nuclear markers such as the Cajal body, nucleolus and nuclear speckles. In this study we have used these markers to correlate transcriptional status with cell dif...

Alpha-b crystallin gene (CRYAB) mutation causes dominant congenital posterior polar cataract in humans (2001)
Journal Article
Berry, V., Francis, P., Reddy, M., Collyer, D., Vithana, E., MacKay, I., …Quinlan, R. (2001). Alpha-b crystallin gene (CRYAB) mutation causes dominant congenital posterior polar cataract in humans. American Journal of Human Genetics, 69(5), 1141-1145. https://doi.org/10.1086/324158

Congenital cataracts are an important cause of bilateral visual impairment in infants. In a four-generation family of English descent, we mapped dominant congenital posterior polar cataract to chromosome 11q22-q22.3. The maximum LOD score, 3.92 at re...
