Abstract excerpt
A G380R substitution in the transmembrane-spanning region of FGFR3 (FGFR3Ach) results in constitutive receptor kinase activity and is the most common cause of achondroplastic dwarfism in humans. The epiphyseal growth plates of affected individuals are disorganized and hypocellular and show aberrant chondrocyte maturation. To examine the molecular basis of these abnormalities, we used a chondrocytic cell line,...
