Abstract excerpt
In humans, loss-of-function mutations in WISP3 cause the autosomal recessive skeletal disease progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database number 208230). WISP3 encodes Wnt1-inducible signaling protein 3, a cysteine-rich, multidomain, secreted protein, whose paralogous CCN (connective tissue growth factor/cysteine-rich protein 61/nephroblastoma overexpressed) family...
