Abstract
Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED; MIM 131300), or progressive diaphyseal dysplasia, is a rare, sclerosing bone dysplasia inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Recently, the gene causing CED has been assigned to the chromosomal region 19q13 (refs 1–3). Because this region contains the gene encoding transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFB1), an important mediator of bone remodelling4, we evaluated TGFB1 as a candidate gene for causing CED.
