Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (or other name used to describe this disorder) who are interested in
participation in MHE / MO / HME research.

of MHE / MO / HME and / or donating surgical specimens of exostoses and blood samples obtained
during medically prescribed treatment, obtaining X-rays and medical records.
