Background: α-crystallins consist of three gene products, αA, αB and αC-crystallin, which are members of the small heat shock protein family (HSP 20) . They are induced by heat shock, and act as molecular chaperones by holding denatured proteins in large soluble aggregates. However, unlike other molecular chaperones, α-crystallins do not renature these proteins. Expression of αA-crystallin is restricted to the lens. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant congenital cataracts (ADCC) . The human αB-crystallin gene product is expressed in many tissues, including lens, heart and skeletal muscle. Elevated expression of αB-crystallin is associated with many neurological diseases, and a missense mutation in this gene has co-segregated in a family with a Desmin-related myopathy.
