Description

The objective of this Working Group up will initially be to make an inventory of all the genes underlying monogenic conditions presenting with a clear musculoskeletal phenotype.

After this, the main focus of WG5 will be to evaluate the overlap between this list of genes and those genes characterized by WG4 and trace them back into common biological pathways. This WG will also liaise with WG3 and WG4 providing lists of genes that can be taken forward for functional follow-up and bioinformatics mining.

Deliverables

D3. Monogenic disorders database (website) and Monogenic disorders genes and mutation report (document).

D4. Report of the monogenic disorders public event summit with participation of members from the scientific network and other stakeholders (meeting).
