An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising the SHOX ET93 nucleotide sequence - SEQ ID NO: 2 and a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SHOX G310 - SEQ ID NO: 3, SHOX ET45 - SEQ ID NO: 4, SHOX G108 - SEQ ID NO: 5, SHOX Va - SEQ ID NO: 6 and SHOX Vb - SEQ ID NO: 7. The cDNA corresponding to this gene can be used as a diagnostic tool to further characterize the molecular nature of the low body height phenotype. Gene gene product identification provides a new way to develop a superior small-height treatment. |
