Abstract excerpt
Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is characterized by developmental defects of dorsal limb structures, nephropathy, and glaucoma and is caused by heterozygous mutations in the LIM homeodomain transcription factor LMX1B. In order to identify possible genotype-phenotype correlations, we performed LMX1B mutation analysis and comprehensive investigations of limb, renal, ocular, and audiological characteristics in 106...
