Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To find novel potential gene mutations other than EXT1 and EXT2 mutations, to expand the mutational spectrum of EXT and to explore the correlation between clinical outcome and genotype in patients with hereditary multiple exostoses (HME). METHODS: The study recruited seven families diagnosed with multiple osteochondromas (MO). Family histories and clinical information were collected in detail through...
