Embodiment 1
[0044] Example 1 Preparation of SDK2 Gene Mutation Mouse Model
[0045] The target gene SDK2 is located on the reverse strand of chromosome 11 in the mouse genome, with a length of about 289.85kb. The Gene ID in NCBI is 237979, and a total of 6 transcripts can be formed. In this example, the transcript SDK2-001 (Transcript ID: ENSMUST00000041627) As an example, a mouse model with a mutation at the R87C site (corresponding to the R83C site of the human SDK2 gene) ("CGC" changed to "TGC") was constructed.

[0104] Example 2 Application of SDK2 gene mutation mouse model to study the role of cell adhesion junctions in lens development
[0105] The inventors discovered for the first time that mutations in SDK2 are associated with congenital cataracts, suggesting that cell adhesion molecules may have an important function in the development and / or maintenance of the lens. Taking the pathogenic mutation as a starting point, by comparing with the wild type, we explored the role of cell adhesion junctions in lens development and function maintenance, and elucidated the pathogenic molecular mechanism of SDK2 mutation. The specific experimental method is as follows:
[0106] (1) Observe the shape and degree of lens opacity with a slit lamp microscope, quantify the area of lens opacity under a dark field microscope, and perform phenotypic evaluation;
[0107] (2) Choose 2-month-old mice as the research object, measure the weight and diameter of the removed lens, evaluate the impact of S...
