Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dyggve Melchior Clausen syndrome (DMC) is a severe autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia associated with mental retardation. Direct sequencing of genomic DNA has identified causative mutations in the gene Dymeclin (chromosome 18q12-21), with the majority predicting the generation of a truncated protein product. OBJECTIVE: To carry out molecular genetic studies in three DMC kindreds. RESULTS: Two...
