Hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT) is a genetically heterogeneous, autosomal dominant skeletal disorder. The gene for EXT1 maps to human chromosome 8q24.1 and encodes an evolutionary conserved protein that is a member of a multigene family. The mouse homolog of human EXT1 protein is 99% similar to its human counterpart. Here, we present the expression profiles of the mouse EXT1 gene. EXT1 mRNA is initially expressed at 6.5 days post-coitum (d.p.c.), which coincides with gastrulation of the… CONTINUE READING
