Abstract excerpt
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the RUNX2 gene. In this study, we analyzed by direct sequencing RUNX2 mutations from eleven CCD patients. Four of seven mutations were novel: two nonsense mutations resulted in a translational stop at codon 50 (Q50X) and 112 (E112X); a missense mutation converted arginine to glycine at codon 131 (R131G); and an exon 1...
