1. Estudo do gene SHOX em casos de discondrosteose de Léri Weill e displasia mesomélica de Langer / Study of SHOX gene in cases of Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis and Langer mesomelic dysplasia
A Discondrosteose de Leri-Weill (DLW), caracterizada por baixa estatura, encurtamento mesomélico dos membros e deformidade de Madelung, deve-se a alterações no gene SHOX, localizado na região pseudoautossômica dos cromossomos sexuais e que atua como fator de transcrição. Alterações em um dos alelos são encontradas em casos de baixa estatura com ou

2. Identification of SHOX gene deletions: comparison of FISH technique, microsatellites analysis and MLPA / Identificação de deleções do gene SHOX: comparação das técnicas de FISH, análise de microssatélites e MLPA
The SHOX gene (short stature homeobox containing gene), expressed at high levels in osteogenic cells, is essential for bone development and growth process. SHOX haploinsufficiency is responsible for several phenotypes involving short stature, such as Turner syndrome, Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) and idiopathic short stature. Deletions are responsible

3. An illustrative case of Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis
We report on a girl presenting Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) due to deletion of the SHOX gene. Her family included individuals with short stature alone or with both short stature and mesomelia or Madelung's deformity. The deletion was demonstrated through detection of hemizygosity for microsatellite markers SHOX-CA repeat, DXYS10092, DXYS10093 and D

4. Identification of a Major Recombination Hotspot in Patients with Short Stature and SHOX Deficiency
Human growth is influenced not only by environmental and internal factors but also by a large number of different genes. One of these genes, SHOX, is believed to play a major role in growth, since defects in this homeobox-containing gene on the sex chromosomes lead to syndromal short stature (Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis, Langer mesomelic dysplasia, and Tur
