Large-scale mutational analysis in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes for Japanese patients with multiple osteochondromas
9 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multiple osteochondroma (MO) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the formation of multiple osteochondromas, and exostosin-1 (EXT1) and exostosin-2 (EXT2) are major causative genes in MO. In this study, we evaluated the genetic backgrounds and mutational patterns in Japanese families with MO. RESULTS: We evaluated 112 patients in 71 families with MO. Genomic DNA was isolated...
