Embryonic cranial cartilage defects in the Fgfr3Y367C/+ mouse model of achondroplasia

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Achondroplasia, the most common chondrodysplasia in humans, is caused by one of two gain of function mutations localized in the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) leading to constitutive activation of FGFR3 and subsequent growth plate cartilage and bone defects.
