Abstract excerpt
Fifty percent of the infantile malignant osteopetrosis (IMO) cases reported in the literature present mutations in the TCIRG1 gene encoding the 116-kDa osteoclast specific subunit of the vacuolar proton ATPase (ATP6I). In this study, we identified four novel mutations in a series of six IMO patients. All of these mutations correspond to single nucleotide changes and affect splice acceptor or donor sites,...
