Domain-specific mutations in TGFB1 result in Camurati-Engelmann disease

Nature Genetics volume 26, pages 19–20 (2000)Cite this article

Abstract

Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED, MIM 131300) is an autosomal dominant, progressive diaphyseal dysplasia characterized by hyperosteosis and sclerosis of the diaphyses of long bones1. We recently assigned the CED locus to an interval between D19S422 and D19S606 at chromosome 19q13.1–q13.3 (ref. 2), which two other groups confirmed3,4. As the human transforming growth factor-β1 gene (TGFB1) is located within this interval5, we considered it a candidate gene for CED.
