Activating mutations of the tyrosine kinase receptor FGFR3 are associated with benign skin tumors in mice and humans [PDF]
Specific germline activating point mutations in the gene encoding the tyrosine kinase receptor FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) result in autosomal dominant human skeletal dysplasias.

Abstract This study sought to quantify uptake rates of non‐invasive prenatal screening for de novo single‐gene disorders (NIPS‐SGD) in pregnant subjects whose reproductive partner is of advanced paternal age (APA) and to determine individual parameters associated with higher test uptake rates.

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

Thanatophoric dysplasia type 1 (TD1): a case report [PDF]
Thanatophoric Dysplasia (TD) is a severe short-limb dwarfism syndrome that is usually lethal in the perinatal period. It is characterized by shortening of the limbs, severely small thorax, large head with a prominent forehead, macrocephaly, curved femur,

A new biometric: In utero growth curves for metacarpal and phalangeal lengths reveal an embryonic patterning ratio. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study are to develop gestational age-specific growth curves for fetal third metacarpal and phalangeal lengths and to determine if fetal hand proportion is established in utero.

Achondroplasia has a major impact on a patient's skeletal growth and can cause spinal stenosis, spinal abnormalities, and other locomotor system issues. Surgery is still the primary therapy for musculoskeletal system complications. Objective Due to the low incidence of achondroplasia (Ach), there is a relative lack of research on the treatment and ...

A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012. [PDF]
Malformations of cerebral cortical development include a wide range of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. In addition, study of these disorders contributes greatly to the understanding of normal brain

Meclozine facilitates proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes by attenuating abnormally activated FGFR3 signaling in achondroplasia. [PDF]
Achondroplasia (ACH) is one of the most common skeletal dysplasias with short stature caused by gain-of-function mutations in FGFR3 encoding the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3. We used the drug repositioning strategy to identify an FDA-approved drug

FGFR3 alterations in bladder cancer: Sensitivity and resistance to targeted therapies
Abstract In this review, we revisit the pivotal role of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) in bladder cancer (BLCA), underscoring its prevalence in both non‐muscle‐invasive and muscle‐invasive forms of the disease. FGFR3 mutations in up to half of BLCAs play a well‐established role in tumorigenesis, shaping distinct tumor initiation patterns ...
