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

We describe here the spectrum and distribution of mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 genes in the largest reported British Caucasian multiple osteochondromas (MO) population. Furthermore, we report for the first time the screening of the EXT1 and EXT2 promoters, 5'UTRs, and 3'UTRs, and exclude six poten
