Clinical Presentation of the Longest Reported Living Individual With Bent Bone Dysplasia—FGFR2‐Related

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The FGFR2 gene, encoding the FGFR2 protein, plays a crucial role in embryonic cell development, particularly in bone tissue. Bent Bone Dysplasia (BBD), FGFR2‐related (MIM# 614592), is a rare severe skeletal dysplasia characterized by craniofacial differences, reduced bone mineral density, and bowed long bones.

Genotypes and Phenotypes of Patients With TSPEAR‐Related Disorder: Evidence of a Predominant Dental Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TSPEAR (chr. 21q22.3) encodes a protein involved in tooth development and is predominantly expressed in the enamel knot. Biallelic loss of function variants in TSPEAR cause ectodermal dysplasia, tooth agenesis and sensorineural hearing loss. However, the role of TSPEAR in auditory processes is unclear.
