Abstract excerpt
Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome and Smith-McCort dysplasia are recessive spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasias caused by loss-of-function mutations in dymeclin (Dym), a gene with previously unknown function. Here we report that Dym-deficient mice display defects in endochondral bone formation similar to that of Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome and Smith-McCort dysplasia, demonstrating functional conservation between...
