Abstract excerpt
AIM: To clinically characterize and map the disease-associated locus in a five-generation Chinese family with autosomal dominant early-onset hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A complete oral examination was conducted. Genomic DNA samples were obtained from 14 individuals. Short tandem repeats markers, which encompass four previously known loci related to HGF, were genotyped. Two-point...
