Embodiment 1

[0047] 1. Sample collection

[0048] The inventor collected a congenital cataract family in Anhui, China. The patients in the family showed the phenotype of congenital cataract, showing an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The family diagram is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the solid ones in the figure represent patients, the hollow ones represent normal people, and II1, III11, IV2, and IV8 are samples with exons measured. We collected the peripheral blood of some members of the family and extracted DNA, and selected 4 members (3 patients, 1 normal person) for exome sequencing, and all participants who provided blood samples signed an informed consent. and was approved by the Ethics Committee.

[0049] 2. Chip design, library construction and high-throughput sequencing

[0050] The inventor used NimbleGen SeqCap EZ Human Exome Library v2.0 (NimbleGen, Madison, WI, USA) combined with Solexa high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence the exome sequences of the fo...

Embodiment 2

[0062] 1. Sample Preparation

[0063] The peripheral blood of the members of the family was collected, and the genomic DNA in the peripheral blood leukocytes was extracted by the conventional phenol-chloroform method, and the concentration and purity of the DNA were measured by a spectrophotometer. Between, the concentration is not less than 200ng / μl, and the total amount is not less than 30μg.

[0064] 2. Detection of disease mutation sites

[0065] Sanger sequencing was performed on 3 patient samples and 1 normal sample with exons tested in the family, as well as other family members who were willing to donate samples, including primer design, PCR amplification, product purification, sequencing to obtain sequences, and according to the sequence determination results Belong to mutant or wild type, verify the correlation between mutation and congenital cataract. The specific method steps are as follows:

[0066] 1) DNA extraction:

[0067] Genomic DNA was extracted from th...
