Case report: targeted whole exome sequencing enables the first prenatal diagnosis of the lethal skeletal dysplasia Osteocraniostenosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Osteocraniostenosis (OCS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by premature closure of cranial sutures, gracile bones and perinatal lethality. Previously, diagnosis has only been possible postnatally on clinical and radiological features.

Thanatophoric Dysplasia (TD) is a severe skeletal dysplasia that is lethal in the neonatal period. There are two defined TD subtypes which have been classified clinically. The incidence is approximately 1/20,000 to 1/50,000. Type I TD being more frequent than Type II.

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.

Current Care and Investigational Therapies in Achondroplasia. [PDF]
The goal of this review is to evaluate the management options for achondroplasia, the most common non-lethal skeletal dysplasia. This disease is characterized by short stature and a variety of complications, some of which can be quite severe.

K-Ras and β-catenin mutations cooperate with Fgfr3 mutations in mice to promote tumorigenesis in the skin and lung, but not in the bladder [PDF]
The human fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene is frequently mutated in superficial urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). To test the functional significance of FGFR3 activating mutations as a ‘driver’ of UCC, we targeted the expression of mutated

Neonatal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia (Raine syndrome)
Background: Raine syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive neonatal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia caused due to mutations in the FAM20C gene. It has an early and aggressive onset which often results in death in the first few weeks of life, although there ...
