Abstract excerpt
Aim: To detect mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes in four Chinese families with hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO). HMO is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the overgrowth of multiple cartilage-capped bones in the metaphysis of long bones and flat bones. Methods: Polymerase chain reaction-based amplification followed by DNA sequencing of the complete coding sequences of EXT1 and EXT2 was...
