Abstract excerpt
Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is an autosomal-dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the formation of multiple cartilage-capped protuberances. MO is genetically heterogeneous and is associated with mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes. In this study we describe extensive mutation screening in a set of 63 patients with clinical and radiographical diagnosis of MO. Denaturing high-performance liquid...
