| Background | This gene encodes a lens-specific intermediate filament-like protein named filensin. The encoded protein is expressed in lens fiber cells after differentiation has begun. This protein functions as a component of the beaded filament which is a cytoskeletal structure found in lens fiber cells. Mutations in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive cortical juvenile-onset cataract. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013], |
| Function | disease:Defects in BFSP1 are the cause of autosomal recessive cortical juvenile-onset cataract [MIM:611391]. Cataract is the most frequent cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. While congenital cataracts are less frequent than age related cataracts, if not treated promptly they can result in irreversible neural blindness. The frequency of non-syndromic congenital cataract is estimated to be 1-6 cases per 10'000 children with one additional case being diagnosed during childhood. Developmental or juvenile onset cataract is distinguished from congenital cataract by initial clarity of the lens at birth and development of opacities progressively with maturation during childhood or adolescence. Approximately 25% of non-syndromic cataracts are inherited, and they are phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous, with autosomal dominant generally considered to be more common than a |
