Positional cloning of a gene involved in hereditary multiple exostoses
1 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
Hereditary multiple exostosis (EXT) is an autosomal dominant condition mainly characterized by the presence of multiple exostoses on the long bones. These exostoses are benign cartilaginous tumors (enchondromata). Three different EXT loci on chromosomes 8q (EXT1), 11p (EXT2) and 19p (EXT3) have been reported, and recently the EXT1 gene was identified by positional cloning. To isolate the EXT2 gene, we constructed...
