Insulin-like growth-factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) constitute a family of structurally related proteins that specifically bind insulin-like growth factors and modulate their functions. In this study, the chromosomal localization was determined for the gene encoding IGFBP4, i.e. inhibitory-IGFBP. A
## Abstract Van Buchem disease is an autosomal recessive sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by skeletal hyperostosis, overgrowth of the mandible, and a liability to entrapment of the seventh and eighth cranial nerves. The genetic determinant maps to chromosome 17q12‐q21. We refined the critica
