Identification of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) gene mutations in patients with pseudoachondroplasia and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) gene are responsible for two dominantly inherited skeletal dysplasias, pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED). Mutation analysis of the COMP gene in Korean patients with PSACH and MED was performed. All nine patients with PSACH had mutations in the COMP gene, while three of the five patients with MED had detectable COMP...
