Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brachydactyly type A2 (BDA2) is an autosomal dominant disorder. It was recently reported that a 5.9 kb duplication and a 5.5 kb duplication in the region 20p12.2-12.3 are associated with BDA2 in two European families. OBJECTIVE: To characterise a 6-generation Chinese family with 16 members affected by BDA2 and map the gene to 20p12.2-12.3. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 4.6 kb duplication downstream of the...
