Abstract excerpt
The LMX1B gene, encoding a protein involved in limb, kidney and eye development, is mutated in patients affected by Nail-Patella syndrome. Inter- and intrafamilial variability is common in this disorder for skeletal abnormalities, presence and severity of nephropathy and ocular anomalies. Phenotypic variability might depend on interactions of the LMX1B causative gene with other genes during development of both...
