Abstract excerpt
Background: Multiple osteochondromas (MO) are an autosomal-dominant disease characterized by the growth of multiple cartilage-capped prominences in the growth plate region of the metaphysis in long and flat bones. Materials and Methods: To detect genetic mutations related to MO, a three-generation Chinese family with MO was evaluated using whole exome sequencing for mutation screening. The candidate pathogenic...
