Mutational Analysis of EXT1in a Chinese Family Affected by Hereditary Multiple Osteochondroma
Objectives. To discuss the mutational features and their relationships with disease in a family with hereditary multiple osteochondroma (HMO) from Guangxi Province (GXBB‐1 family), China. Methods. Genomic DNA and total mRNA were extracted from peripheral blood cells of GXBB‐1 family members.

Summary: Background: Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME) is a rare autosomal disorder characterized by the presence of multiple exostoses (osteochondromas) caused by a heterozygous loss of function mutation in EXT1 or EXT2; genes involved in heparan ...

Pay Attention to the Osteochondromas in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva. [PDF]
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disease characterized by malformation of the bilateral great toes and progressive heterotopic ossification. Classical FOP always behaves as a bilateral deformity of the big toes, as well as progressive ectopic ossification and osteochondromas in the distal femur and proximal tibia.

Osteopoikilosis and multiple exostoses caused by novel mutations in LEMD3 and EXT1 genes respectively - coincidence within one family [PDF]
Background Osteopoikilosis is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, characterised by the occurrence of the hyperostotic spots preferentially localized in the epiphyses and metaphyses of the long bones, and in the carpal and tarsal bones 1 ...

Introduction Heparin sulfate (HS) has long been implicated in the bone deformity hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), and it is now clear that HME is associated with mutations in the HS biosynthetic genes EXT1 and EXT2. Interestingly, HME is also associated with an increased risk of chondro‐ and osteo‐sarcomas.Methods and results Preliminary analysis
