Figure 2 Family with CPP2. Square symbols denote males; circles denote females; affected individuals are denoted by black symbols. Autosomal dominant inheritance is suggested both by the presence of affected males and females in each generation and by male-to-male transmission.

Figure 4 Protein alignment depicting similarity of human αB- and αA-crystallin with those of mouse, cow, rabbit, and chicken. Human αB-crystallin shows the highest homology, over its entire length, to αB-crystallins of rabbit, cow, mouse, and chicken, with identity scores of 98%, 97%, 97%, and 76%, respectively. Human αB-crystallin has 55% amino acid identity with αA-crystallin of human and of cow. Amino acids that exhibit complete identity across species are boxed. The aberrant protein produced as a result of the deletion mutation, 450delA, is shown with its 35 novel residues (blue) after the 149th residue of the wild- type αB-crystallin (arrow). The amino acid residue mutated (R120G [red]) in desmin-related myopathy is also shown.
