Abstract excerpt
Parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH, MIM 168470) plays an important role in endochondral bone development and prevents chondrocytes from differentiating. Disease-causing variants and haploinsufficiency of PTHLH are known to cause brachydactyly type E and short stature. So far, three large duplications encompassing several genes including PTHLH associating with enchondromatas and acro-osteolysis have been...
