Abstract excerpt
This review describes recent progress in the field of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) with an emphasis on the role of FGFR mutants in skeletal malformations. This family of four receptors contains the most frequent germline mutations in humans. More than 75 mutations have been recorded, which account for more than seven skeletal syndromes. The common cause for all the mutant phenotypes is...
