Disorders of the growth plate [PDF]
To summarize the recent advances in our understanding of the majors genes involved in chondrogenesis and their molecular mechanisms.Disorders of the growth plate and the resulting skeletal dysplasias are a consequence of defects in genes involved in various stages of the chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation process.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling in hereditary and neoplastic disease: biologic and clinical implications. [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) are transmembrane growth factor receptors with wide tissue distribution. FGF/FGFR signaling is involved in neoplastic behavior and also development, differentiation, growth, and survival.
