RTK mutations and human syndromeswhen good receptors turn bad.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have been linked to an increasing number of inherited human disease syndromes, including dwarfism, craniosynostosis, heritable cancer susceptibility, venous malformation and Piebaldism. Both gain-of-function mutations resulting in constitutive receptor activation, and loss-of-function mutations resulting in non-functional or dominant negative receptors, have been...
