Alternative Splicing and Nonsense-Mediated RNA Decay Contribute to the Regulation of SHOX Expression

The human SHOX gene is composed of seven exons and encodes a paired-related homeodomain transcription factor. SHOX mutations or deletions have been associated with different short stature syndromes implying a role in growth and bone formation. During development, SHOX is expressed in a highly specif...
