The underlying defect in AHO is known to be a reduction in bioactivity of the alpha subunit of the signal transducing protein, Gs, and heterozygous deactivating mutations have been shown in the Gs alpha gene. Because of additional overlapping clinical and radiological features it has been suggested that acrodysostosis and AHO represent poles of a single diagnostic spectrum. We have measured Gs alpha bioactivity in two unrelated patients with a clinical diagnosis of acrodysostosis and found both to be normal. Mutation analysis of the Gs alpha gene showed no sequence variation in 12 of the 13 exons examined. These results indicate that, at least in a proportion of patients with acrodysostosis, the condition is aetiologically distinct from AHO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.34.2.133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,10]],"date-time":"2008-11-10T15:37:21Z","timestamp":1226331441000},"page":"133-136","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Normal erythrocyte membrane Gs alpha bioactivity in two unrelated patients with acrodysostosis."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"L C","family":"Wilson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M E","family":"Oude Luttikhuis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Baraitser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H M","family":"Kingston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R C","family":"Trembath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"33","article-title":"The radiology of bones and joints","author":"Brailsford, J.F.","year":"1948","unstructured":"Brailsford JF.
