The p.Arg116His mutation in the heat shock transcription factor-4 (HSF4) has been associated with age-related cataracts, but it is also seen in 2% of the normal population indicating either reduced penetrance or that the normal subjects were not old enough to express the phenotype. Based on the proximity of p.Arg116His to two known mutations in the DNA binding domain of HSF4, namely p.Leu114Pro and p.Arg119Cys, which segregate with childhood lamellar cataract, we tested the possibility that this phenotype may have been missed by the ophthalmologist and/or that it did not spread to the visual axis so as to affect vision significantly. Here we demonstrate via BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) transgenesis that p.Arg116His recreates the childhood lamellar cataract in mice suggesting that incomplete penetrance associated with early cataracts may not be an absence but a limitation of the detection of the phenotype.
