We report clinical and molecular findings in 14 patients with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), a well defined skeletal disorder with characteristic clinical findings and autosomal dominant inheritance. We identified ten heterozygous base changes in the RUNX2 gene, including six novel mutations [c.522i
## Abstract Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the __RUNX2__ gene. In this study, we analyzed by direct sequencing __RUNX2__ mutations from eleven CCD patients. Four of seven mutations were novel: two nonsense mutations resulted in a tran
