Approaches to measuring the frequency of achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia causing FGFR-3 mutations in human sperm [PDF]
Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are two forms of skeletal dysplasias caused predominantly by single base mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR-3).

Sotos syndrome is associated with deregulation of the MAPK/ERK-signaling pathway. [PDF]
Sotos syndrome (SoS) is characterized by tall stature, characteristic craniofacial features and mental retardation. It is caused by haploinsufficiency of the NSD1 gene.

New insight on FGFR3-related chondrodysplasias molecular physiopathology revealed by human chondrocyte gene expression profiling. [PDF]
Endochondral ossification is the process by which the appendicular skeleton, facial bones, vertebrae and medial clavicles are formed and relies on the tight control of chondrocyte maturation. Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)3 plays a role in bone

Spectrum of FGFR3 gene mutations in hypochondroplasia [PDF]
Hypochondroplasia (MIM 146000) is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by disproportional dwarfism with rhizomelic or mesomelic shortening of the upper and lower extremities, with variable severity.

Case Report Hypochondroplasia, Acanthosis Nigricans, and Insulin Resistance in a Child with FGFR3 Mutation: Is It Just an Association? [PDF]
FGFR3 mutations cause wide spectrum of disorders ranging from skeletal dysplasias (hypochondroplasia, achondroplasia, and thanatophoric dysplasia), benign skin tumors (epidermal nevi, seborrhaeic keratosis, and acanthosis nigricans), and epithelial ...

Skeletal Dysplasia During the Bronze Age in Northeast Thailand (3000–2500 BP)
ABSTRACT This study examines a case of skeletal dysplasia in an adult male (B290) from the Bronze Age at the site of Ban Non Wat, Northeast Thailand. Skeletal dysplasia, a group of genetic disorders affecting bone and cartilage growth, presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical features.

Homozygous N540K hypochondroplasia-First report: Radiological and clinical features [PDF]
We describe a 16-month-old male with N540K homozygous mutation in the FGFR3 gene who showed a more severe phenotype than hypochondroplasia (HCH). To our knowledge, a homozygous state for this mutation causing HCH has not been reported before.

Молекулярно-генетична діагностика мутацій гена FGFR3 при ахондроплазії та гіпохондроплазії
Aims. The differential diagnosis of achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia in Ukraine is based on the typical clinical and radiologic features that limits accurate diagnosis and leads to many false-positive diagnoses when checked against a complete ...

Bilious Vomiting in the Newborn: A Three-Year Experience in a Tertiary Medical and Surgical Centre
Background. Bilious vomiting in the newborn is common and requires urgent attention to exclude malrotation. The proportion of neonates with surgical abnormalities, however, is small, and there are other causes. Study Objectives.

ABSTRACT Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a rare skeletal dysplasia caused by pathogenic variants in the FGFR3 gene. We hypothesized that the relative disproportion between head circumference and height in HCH might be diagnostically informative and generated a simple index of head‐stature disproportion to help pediatricians diagnose HCH.
