Abstract excerpt
We describe a patient with Blomstrand chondrodysplasia, a lethal genetic disorder characterized by extremely advanced endochondral bone maturation, in whom a homozygous missense mutation is present in the gene coding for the PTH/PTHrP receptor that leads to the substitution of a proline for a leucine in the N-terminal portion of the receptor (P132L). PTH-induced cAMP accumulation was severely reduced in COS-7...
