Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome (RRS) is a severe skeletal dysplasia with short stature, generalized limb shortening, segmental defects of the spine, brachydactyly, and a dysmorphic facial appearance. The gene encoding receptor orphan receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ROR2) is located on chromosome 9q22 and homozygous loss-of-function mutations in this gene are responsible for RRS. Moreover, knocking out the mouse...
