I am interesting in anything genetic disorders. Do you know which chromosomes Cleidocranial Dystosis comes from ??
I googled it and found this quote:

Quote:
Cleidocranial dystosis is an inherited disorder of bone development transmitted with an autosomal dominant pattern. Characteristics include absent or incompletely formed collar bones, dental abnormalities, joint laxity, and a characteristic facial appearance (heavy brow, protruding jaw, wide nasal bridge, and malaligned teeth).

Dental abnormalities may include prolonged retention of the baby teeth and delayed eruption of the permanent teeth, often with slow or abnormal development.
It is interesting that it is inherited.
