Genetic and Functional Analysis of Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia (CMD)

Identification of Mutations That Lead to Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia in Families and Isolated Cases and Studies of Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms


Sponsor

UConn Health

Enrollment

600 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2009

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

CMD can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive trait. CMD may also be caused by de novo mutations. The goal of this study is to identify genes and regulatory elements on chromosomes that are the cause for CMD. The investigators also study blood samples and tissue samples from patients to learn about the processes that lead to this disorder. The investigators long-term goal is to find mechanisms to slow down bone deposition in CMD patients.


Eligibility
