Genetic mapping of cleidocranial dysplasia and evidence of a microdeletion in one family

Abstract excerpt

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited disorder of high penetrance affecting skeletal ossification and tooth development. Typically, affected individuals have hypoplastic/aplastic clavicles, patent fontanelles and sutures, supernumerary teeth, and short stature. We have used a candidate locus approach to map the responsible gene in two families with typical features of CCD. Linkage...
