LMOD3
Description
LMOD3, or Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing Protein 3, is a gene crucial for the development and proper functioning of the lens in the eye. It encodes a protein that interacts with other structural proteins within the lens, playing a vital role in maintaining its transparency and focusing ability. Mutations in LMOD3 can disrupt this intricate process, leading to various eye disorders.
