Abstract excerpt
Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by dysplastic nails, absent or hypoplastic patellae, elbow dysplasia, and nephropathy. Recently, it was shown that NPS is the result of heterozygous mutations in the LIM-homeodomain gene, LMX1B. Subsequently, many mutations of the LMX1B gene have been reported in NPS patients. However, functional analyses of the mutant proteins have been...
