摘要
The human Sonic Hedgehog gene (SHH) is one of the vertebrate homologs related to the Drosophila segment polarity gene hedgehog. The entire coding and promoter region of the SHH gene, including 2 kb 5' of the transcriptional start site has been screened for mutations in families with autosomal dominant sacral agenesis and autosomal dominant triphalangeal thumb, two conditions previously known to be Linked to 7q36. We have also studied the SHH gene in five families with minor polydactyly associated with tibial hemimelia and in 51 unrelated patients with neural tube defects. Except for two sequence variants in exon 3, no mutations were found in these disease categories.
