Somatic activating mutations in MAP2K1 cause melorheostosis

Melorheostosis is characterized by bone overgrowth and associated with pain and functional impairment. Here, the authors use whole exome sequencing to identify somatic mutations in MAP2K1 in affected bone of melorheostosis patients which is associated with increased proliferation but delayed differe...

Sumario:Melorheostosis is characterized by bone overgrowth and associated with pain and functional impairment. Here, the authors use whole exome sequencing to identify somatic mutations in MAP2K1 in affected bone of melorheostosis patients which is associated with increased proliferation but delayed differentiation of cultured osteoblasts.
