Many theories of osteochondroma pathogenesis have been advanced. Genetic research into the inherited multiple form, hereditary multiple exostoses, has revealed a new family of tumour suppressor genes denoted EXT. Patterns of EXT gene mutation in hereditary multiple exostoses, in solitary and multipl

We describe the results of an optimised DHPLC-based mutation screening of the EXT1 and EXT2 genes in Italian patients affected by multiple osteochondromas [MO; also referred to as hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) in the literature], using a multistep approach. We first analysed 36 unrelated proba
## Abstract Multiple osteochondromas (MO), also known as hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), is one of the most common hereditary musculoskeletal diseases in Caucasians (1/50,000) with wide clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity. Two genes have thus far been identified as causing the disea
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
