18 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Osteochondroma is a benign autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of cartilage in the long bone. It is divided into solitary osteochondroma and hereditary multiple exostoses (HMEs). The exostosin-1 (EXT-1) and exostosin-2 (EXT-2) gene mutations are well-defined molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of HME. EXT-1 and EXT-2 encode glycosyltransferases that are necessary for...
