EXT1 regulates chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation during endochondral bone development

Bone, 2005
Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder most frequently caused by mutations in the EXT1 gene. MHE affects proper development of endochondral bones, such that all affected individuals present with exostoses adjacent to the growth plate of long bones, while some individuals exhibit additional bone deformities.

Gene expression of EXT1 and EXT2 during mouse brain development

Developmental Brain Research, 2003
Heparan sulfate (HS) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) play significant roles in various biological processes. There is a wealth of circumstantial and experimental evidence suggesting the roles of HS in mammalian neural development. HS synthesis is governed by a series of enzymes.

cDNA cloning and distribution of XEXT1, the Xenopus homologue of EXT1

Development Genes and Evolution, 2002
Hereditary Multiple Exostosis (EXT) is an autosomal dominant disorder. Here, we have isolated XEXT1, a Xenopus homologue of EXT1, as an ovary-enriched cDNA clone. The 2,598-bp XEXT1 cDNA had a single open reading frame encoding 735 amino acids. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that transcripts of XEXT1 were present maternally and consumed prior to ...

Identification of the Xenopus laevis cDNA for EXT1: A Phylogenetic Perspective

DNA Sequence, 2002
The EXT family of genes is involved in the developmentally important biosynthesis of heparan sulfate molecules. Members of the EXT family have a demonstrated role in gastrulation, wing formation in flies, and proper bone development in vertebrates. EXT family members have been isolated from several phylogenetically diverse species.

Identification of novel mutations in the human EXT1 tumor suppressor gene

Human Genetics, 1997
Hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT) is a genetically heterogeneous bone disorder caused by genes segregating on human chromosomes 8, 11, and 19 and designated EXT1, EXT2 and EXT3, respectively. Recently, the EXT1 gene has been isolated and partially characterized and appears to encode a tumor suppressor gene.

A Novel EXT1 Mutation Identified in a Family with Multiple Osteochondromas

Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers, 2019
Multiple exostoses (MO), also referred to as hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), is an autosomal dominant inherited skeletal disorder that has been found to be associated with mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes. In the present study, we report a Chinese family with HME and our mutational analyses of the EXT1 and EXT2 genes in affected and unaffected

Involvement of Ext1 and heparanase in migration of mouse FBJ osteosarcoma cells

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2012
To know the involvement of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the metastasis of mouse FBJ osteosarcoma cells, N(α)-lauroyl-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-L-serinamide (Xyl-Ser-C12), which initiates elongation of GAG chains using the glycan biosynthesis system in cells, was administered to FBJ cells with different metastatic capacities.

Molecular basis of multiple exostoses: mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes

Human Mutation, 2000
Hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the formation of exostoses, which are cartilage-capped bony protuberances mainly located on long bones. Two genes, EXT1 and EXT2, and at least one other unidentified gene, are known to be involved in the formation of exostoses.

Cloning of the putative tumour suppressor gene for hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT1)

Nature Genetics, 1995
Hereditary multiple exostoses is an autosomal dominant disorder that is characterized by short stature and multiple, benign bone tumours. In a majority of families, the genetic defect (EXT1) is linked to the Langer-Giedion syndrome chromosomal region in 8q24.1. From this region we have cloned and characterized a cDNA which spans chromosomal breakpoints

Ext1 regulates chondrocyte differentiation

2003
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited human disorder, which is characterized by the formation of multiple cartilaginous capped benign tumors (exostoses) that develop from the growth plate of endochondral bones. So far HME has been linked to missense or frameshift mutations in the tumor suppressor genes Ext1 and
