Abstract excerpt
Acromesomelic dysplasia Grebe type (AMDG) is characterized by severe knob like non-functional fingers and short acromesomelic limbs, and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Disease causing sequence variants in the GDF5 (Growth Differentiation Factor 5) gene located on chromosome 20q11.22 are responsible for causing AMDG. In the study, presented here, two consanguineous families with AMDG were...
