A nonsense mutation in the gene ROR2 underlying autosomal dominant brachydactyly type B.

Abstract excerpt

Brachydactyly type B1 (BDB1), an autosomal dominant condition characterized by terminal deficiency of the fingers and toes, results from mutations in the gene ROR2 encoding a receptor tyrosine kinase. In addition to BDB1, mutations in the gene ROR2 also cause a more severe form of skeletal dysplasia, autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome. The present study reports on a large Punjabi-speaking Pakistani family...
