| Research Abstract |
Dr.Kantaputra in Chinag Mai, Thailand, identified on big family showing a new type of mesomelic dysplasia. In this study we tried to clone the responsible for this type of mesomelic displasia. Out of 15 patients in this family, 9 volunteered to give blood sample for DNA analysis and 13 normal also did. Linkage study by analyzing microsatellite on the whole genome localized the loci on 2q24-32. Candidate gene analysis is now undergoing to identify mutation on the gene.
In addition we are currently negotiating to do linkage analysis on other bone diseases.
