Achondroplasia, the most common form of chondrodysplasia, has been associated with mutations in the gene of the fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) on chromosome 4p. All 39 achondroplasia alleles studied so far carried point mutations which caused the same amino acid exchange, a
Achondroplasia, the most common form of human dwarfism, is due to a G380R mutation in the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) in >97% of the studied cases. While the molecular mechanism of pathology induction is under debate, the structural consequences of the
Achondroplasia (ACH) is a hereditary dwarfism caused by the disturbed proliferation and differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes, followed by impaired endochondral bone growth. ACH is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the transmembrane receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor 3
CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful technology widely used for genome editing, with the potential to be used for correcting a wide variety of deleterious disease-causing mutations. However, the technique tends to generate more indels (insertions and deletions) than precise modifications at the target sites,
BACKGROUND
Achondroplasia is a skeletal dysplasia caused by substitution of arginine for glycine at codon 380 (G380R) mutation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3. To date, the developmental course of the phenotype (short stature and skeletal characteristics) has not been clarified in the
Achondroplasia is a common form of human dwarfism with characteristically rhizomelic shortening of extremities and relative macrocephaly. It is transmitted as an autosomally dominant inheritance, and about 80% of affected individuals result from sporadic mutations without positive family histories.
Achondroplasia, the most common form of skeletal dysplasia in man, has autosomal dominant inheritance and causes severe dwarfism. More than 90% of patients with achondroplasia have a G to A transversion or G to C transversion at position 1138 of the fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR3) gene
The authors present the results of total knee replacement in a 66-year-old woman with achondroplasia. The condition was diagnosed on the basis of clinical and radiographic findings; molecular genetic examination confirmed that the patient was heterozygous for the G1138A mutation responsible for
BACKGROUND
Achondroplasia is the most frequent form of disproportionate short stature, characterized by rhizomelic shortening of the limbs. This disorder is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, although most of the cases are sporadic, a result of a de novo mutation. A recurrent glycine to
Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by disproportionately short stature, frontal bossing, rhizomelia, and trident hands. Most patients appear sporadically resulting from a de novo mutation associated with advanced paternal age. A glycine to arginine mutation at codon 380
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether mutation in the exon 10 of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3(FGFR3) gene in common in Chinese patients with achondroplasia.
METHODS
Genomic DNA from seven sporadic cases of achondroplasia was studied by using PCR-SSCP and restriction enzymes.
RESULTS
All patients
Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism in humans. A recurrent glycine-to-arginine mutation at codon 380 (G380R) of the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) was identified in the majority of Western and Japanese patients, which is uncommon in other
Achondroplasia, the most common cause of chondrodysplasia in man, is characterized by short-limbed dwarfism, macrocephaly, and dysplasia of metaphyses of the tubular bones. Recently, mutations in the gene encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) have been found in patients with
BACKGROUND
Achondroplasia (ACH) is the most common form of osteochondrodysplasia, and is mostly associated with a point mutation in the gene on the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) on chromosome 4p.
METHODS
We investigated the mutations in the gene encoding FGFR-3
Achondroplasia (ACH) is the most frequent form of short-limb dwarfism. Recently, the gene mutation responsible for ACH has been identified in the transmembrane domain of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene. The cause of ACH is a point mutation at nucleotide 1138 of the cDNA, resulting in
