Research Abstract |
We identified SLC39A13/ZIP13, TRIP11, CHST14, and SMOC1 as novel causative genes for skeletal dysplasias. We defined the spectrum of the diseases caused by SLC35D1, CANT1, and TRPV4 mutations. By using Zip13, Trip11, and Smoc1 mutant mice, we examined the disease-causing mechanisms by respective gene mutations. These findings should be useful to establish novel strategies for diagnosis and therapy of skeletal dysplasias.
