Genotype-Phenotype Correlation Reanalysis in 83 Chinese Cases with OCRL Mutations
Background. Both Lowe syndrome and Dent-2 disease are caused by variants in the OCRL gene. However, the reason why patients with similar OCRL gene mutations presented with different phenotypes remains uncertain. Methods.

Identification of Two Novel Variants in <i>CRYGD</i> and <i>OCRL</i> Genes in the Chinese Population With Hereditary Congenital Cataracts Using Whole Exome Sequencing. [PDF]
Background Genetic variants are the leading cause of congenital cataract (CC). To date, numerous genes have been implicated in the development of CC. The objective of the present study was to report two previously unrecognized gene variants associated with CC in two unrelated Chinese families, identified through whole exome sequencing (WES).

Assessment of endocytic traffic and Ocrl function in the developing zebrafish neuroepithelium
ABSTRACT Endocytosis allows cells to internalise a wide range of molecules from their environment and to maintain their plasma membrane composition. It is vital during development and for maintenance of tissue homeostasis. The ability to visualise endocytosis in vivo requires suitable assays to monitor the process.
