Abstract excerpt
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), an autosomal skeletal disorder characterized by cartilage-capped excrescences, has been ascribed to mutations in EXT 1 and EXT 2, two tumor suppressor-related genes encoding glycosyltransferases involved in the heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) biosynthesis. Taking advantage of the availability of three different exostoses from a patient with HME harboring a premature...
