Abstract excerpt
Pleiotropic, recessively inherited cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is due to mutations in the untranslated RMRP gene on chromosome 9p13-p12 encoding the RNA component of RNase MRP endoribonuclease. We describe 36 different mutations in this gene in 91 Finnish and 44 non-Finnish CHH families. Based on their nature and localisation, these mutations can be classified into three categories: mutations affecting the...
