The mapping of the achondroplasia locus to the short arm of chromosome 4 and the subsequent identification of a recurrent missense mutation (G380R) in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR-3) gene has been followed by the detection of common FGFR-3 mutations in two clinically related disorde

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is one of the four distinct membrane‐spanning tyrosine kinase receptors for fibroblast growth factors. The FGFR3 is a negative regulator of endochondral ossification and mutations in the __FGFR3__ gene have been found in patients of human hereditary diseas
Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is the most frequent form of neonatal lethal skeletal dysplasia. Recently, mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene that cause two subtypes of this disorder, type I (TDI) and type II (TDII), have been identified. This discovery has now made it po
