Abstract excerpt
Here we report the identification of two different mutations in chloride channel 7 gene in two unrelated patients with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II. We determined that one patient (a 32-year-old woman) carried a heterozygous gene for a R767W mutation in exon 24, and another patient (a 17-year-old boy) carried a heterozygous gene for a novel frameshift mutation (Glu798FS) in exon 25. Recent studies...
