title: Finding genes involved in human developmental disorders.
abstract: Recent advances in the human genome initiative have accelerated positional cloning efforts toward identification of a number of genes responsible for human developmental anomalies, particularly those involving the skeletal system. Genotype/phenotype comparison and functional analysis of these genes will further elucidate pathways of normal and abnormal human development of the skeletal and other organ systems.
