Mutations in two regions of<i>FLNB</i>result in atelosteogenesis I and III

Abstract excerpt

The filamins are a family of cytoplasmic proteins that bind to and organize actin filaments, link membrane proteins to the cytoskeleton, and provide a scaffold for signaling molecules. Mutations in the gene encoding filamin B (FLNB) cause a spectrum of osteochondrodysplasias, including atelosteogenesis type I (AOI) and atelosteogenesis type III (AOIII). AOI and AOIII are autosomal dominant lethal skeletal...
