Refinement of the multiple exostoses locus ( EXT 2 ) to a 3 cM interval on chromosome 11 . ^^^ EXT is genetically heterogeneous , with at least three loci involved : one ( EXT 1 ) in the Langer Giedion region on 8q23 q 24 , a second ( EXT 2 ) in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 11 , and a third ( EXT 3 ) on chromosome 19p . ^^^ In this study , linkage analysis in seven extended EXT families , all linked to the EXT 2 locus , refined the localization of the EXT 2 gene to a 3 cM region flanked by D11S1355 and D11S1361 / D11S554 . ^^^ This implies that the EXT 2 gene is located at the short arm of chromosome 11 , in band 11p11 p 12 . ^^^ The refined localization of EXT 2 excludes a number of putative candidate genes located in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 11 and facilitates the process of isolating the EXT 2 gene . . ^^^

Methylation status of EXT 1 and EXT 2 promoters and two mutations of EXT 2 in chondrosarcoma . ^^^ Germline mutation and functional loss of EXT 1 or EXT 2 are commonly found in multiple osteochondromas and predispose to the development of chondrosarcoma . ^^^ Mutations of EXT 1 and EXT 2 have rarely been detected in sporadic secondary chondrosarcomas from osteochondroma ; these frequently display loss of heterozygosity at the EXT 1 and EXT 2 loci , but primary chondrosarcomas typically do not . ^^^ To evaluate promoter methylation ( which is an epigenetic gene silencing mechanism ) of EXT 1 and EXT 2 , we performed methylation specific polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) for 20 chondrosarcoma cases ( 12 primary , 3 secondary to osteochondroma , 2 secondary to enchondromatosis , 2 extraskeletal ordinary , and 1 clear cell ) and in five cell lines . ^^^ In addition , mutation analysis of the EXT 1 and EXT 2 coding regions was performed using PCR single strand conformation polymorphism and sequencing analysis for 12 of the 20 chondrosarcoma cases ( 8 primary , 1 secondary to enchondromatosis , 1 secondary to osteochondroma , and 2 extraskeletal ordinary ) and five cell lines . ^^^

Genetic screening for mutations affecting morphogen signaling pathways in Drosophila has identified three genes , tout velu ( ttv ) , sister of tout velu ( sotv ) , and brother of toutvelu ( botv ) , which encode homologues of human EXT 1 , EXT 2 , and EXTL 3 , respectively . ^^^ In contrast to human , TTV SOTV exhibited no GlcNAcT 1 activity , indicating that BOTV / DEXT3 , which is an EXT Like gene and possesses GlcNAcT 1 activity required for the initiation of HS , is indispensable for the biosynthesis of HS chains in Drosophila . ^^^ Thus , all three EXT members in Drosophila , TTV , SOTV , and BOTV , are required for the biosynthesis of full length HS in Drosophila . . ^^^
