Human orthologs of some of DEGs identified in this study, including mipa (major intrinsic protein of lens fiber, also known as aquaporin 0 or aqp0) and bfsp2 (beaded filament structural protein 2, phakinin) are implicated in cataracts [67,68], and therefore, its dysregulated expression might contribute to lens cloudiness present in the eyes of some adult transgenic zebrafish. This evidence concerns the gene BFSP2 and cataract.
