Abstract excerpt
Pycnodysostosis (MIM 265800) is a rare, autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, wide cranial sutures, and increased bone density and fragility. Linkage analysis localized the disease gene to human chromosome 1q21, and subsequently the genetic interval was narrowed to between markers D1S2612 and D1S2345. Expressed sequence tagged markers corresponding to cathepsin K, a cysteine...
