| Several clinically important diseases and tumor-associated genetic alterations have been linked to human chromosome 9p. We are focusing our research on two different diseases whose causative genes are located on 9p. We are interested in identifying the mechanism by which mutations in the gene RMRP, RNA component of the mitochondrial RNA processing gene, cause the genetic disease cartilage-hair hypoplasia. |
