Abstract excerpt
Longitudinal bone growth is determined by the process of endochondral ossification in the cartilaginous growth plate, which is located at both ends of vertebrae and long bones and involves many systemic hormones and local regulators. We report the molecular characterization of a de novo balanced t(2;7)(q37.1;q21.3) translocation in a young female with Marfanoid habitus and skeletal anomalies. The translocation...
