Abstract excerpt
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), the most frequent of all skeletal dysplasias, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of multiple exostoses localized mainly at the end of long bones. HME is genetically heterogeneous, with at least three loci, on 8q24.1 (EXT1), 11p11-p13 (EXT2), and 19p (EXT3). Both the EXT1 and EXT2 genes have been cloned recently and define a new family of potential...
