Functional analysis of novel RUNX2 mutations identified in patients with cleidocranial dysplasia

RUNX2 (Runt‐related transcription factor 2) is a master regulator of osteoblast differentiation, cartilage and bone development. Pathogenic variants in RUNX2 have been linked to the Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), which is characterized by hypoplasia or aplasia of clavicles, delayed fontanelle closure, and dental anomalies. Here, we report 11 unrelated Polish patients with CCD caused by pathogenic alterations located in the Runt domain of RUNX2 ....
