New mutations in the CBFA1 gene in two Mexican patients with cleidocranial dysplasia.

Abstract excerpt

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder exhibiting a wide clinical spectrum ranging from minimal anomalies to classic CCD. Mutations scattered throughout the entire CBFA1 gene have been related to this disorder. However, it seems that most of them affect the highly conserved Runt domain, abolishing the DNA-binding ability of this transcription factor. Moreover, no systematic...
