The Role of EXT1 in Nonhereditary Osteochondroma: Identification of Homozygous Deletions [PDF]
Multiple osteochondromas is a hereditary syndrome that is characterized by the formation of cartilage-capped bony neoplasms (osteochondromas), for which exostosis (multiple)-1 (EXT1) has been identified as a causative gene. However, 85% of all osteochondromas present as solitary (nonhereditary) lesions in which somatic mutations in EXT1 are extremely ...

Hereditary multiple exostoses caused by a chromosomal inversion removing part of EXT1 gene
Background Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the development of multiple, circumscript and usually symmetric bony protuberances called osteochondromas.

Mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 Genes in Hereditary Multiple Exostoses [PDF]
Hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT; MIM 133700) is an autosomal dominant bone disorder characterized by the presence of multiple benign cartilage-capped tumors (exostoses). Besides suffering complications caused by the pressure of these exostoses on the surrounding tissues, EXT patients are at an increased risk for malignant chondrosarcoma, which may ...

Proteomic Analysis of Complement Proteins in Membranous Nephropathy
Introduction: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in Caucasian adults. Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)– and exostosin 1 (EXT1)/exostosin 2 (EXT2)–associated MN represent the most common primary and secondary forms

Contribution of EXT1, EXT2, and EXTL3 to Heparan Sulfate Chain Elongation [PDF]
The exostosin (EXT) family of genes encodes glycosyltransferases involved in heparan sulfate biosynthesis. Five human members of this family have been cloned to date: EXT1, EXT2, EXTL1, EXTL2, and EXTL3. EXT1 and EXT2 are believed to form a Golgi-located hetero-oligomeric complex that catalyzes the chain elongation step in heparan sulfate biosynthesis,
