Abstract

New developments in the area of cytogenetics and molecular genetics have suggested a variety of newly recognized mechanisms that result in human genetic disorders. These mechanisms are being observed among individuals with bone dysplasias. Mosaicism imprinting, parent-of-origin differences, uni- parental disomy (UPD) and mono-zygotic twinning represent mecha- nisms which modify the phenotypic expression of the bone dysplasia.
