DESCRIPTION: The goals of this application are to clone the gene for
preaxial polydactyly type 2 (PPD2), and to determine the role of PPD2
in limb development. Patients with PPD have a polydactyly of the thumbs,
fingers or toes. Specifically, PPD2 results in polydactyly of the thumbs
and duplication of the big toe. PPD is inherited as an autosomal
dominant with variable expressivity.
Preliminary work by this investigator, and collaborators, have
demonstrated linkage of PPD2 to a 5 cM region in 7q36. The specific aims
of this application are:
1. To collect additional family members from a large pedigree currently
being analyzed, and to collect new PPD2 pedigrees and confirm they link
to 7q31. 2. Develop new microsatellite markers from this region to
refine the localization of PPD2. 3. Identify candidate PPD2 genes from
this refined region. 4. Analyze patterns of expression of genes from the
minimal region to see if they are expressed appropriately during
development to be candidate PPD2 genes. 5. Mutation analysis of
candidate genes to identify the correct PPD2 gene.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
