RGS6: A Novel Gene Associated With Congenital Cataract, Mental Retardation, and Microcephaly in a Tunisian Family [Genetics]

Conclusions. Our study identified a new gene to be included in the large spectrum of cataract-associated genes. Importantly, the study demonstrated that, in addition to lens-enriched genes that exhibit high expression levels, genes identified by iSyTE that are highly lens-enriched but have lower absolute expression may also represent candidates for potential function in the lens.
