UASt regulates expression of the Hsap\CRYAB cDNA bearing a R120G mutation, an autosomal dominant mutation that manifests adult-onset cataracts, skeletal muscle weakness and heart failure (cardiomyopathy). There is an N-terminal GFP tag.
FlyBase curator comment: 'myopathy' disease subtype 'myofibrillar myopathy 2' is associated with the R120G mutation of the gene CRYAB.
