Abstract excerpt
We report on a patient with a clinical phenotype showing all the features of the multiple synostoses syndrome or the facioaudiosymphalangism syndrome, including symphalangism, condunction deafness, and the typical facies. Previously, it was shown that this condition is genetically heterogeneous with initially mutations described in the NOG gene, coding for Noggin, an extracellular antagonist of bone morphogenetic...
