Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To further investigate the genetic basis of hereditary X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDL) and provide useful information for the prevention and treatment of the disease. METHODS: RT-PCR and cDNA sequencing were used to test mRNA expression of SEDL gene in a patient with 13 bp deletion of SEDL gene involving the acceptor splice site of intron 5. RESULTS: Of two different sizes of mRNA...
