Abstract excerpt
In recent years the study of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) in normal development and human genetic disorders has increased our understanding of some complex cellular processes. At least fifteen genetic disorders result from mutations within FGFR genes including skeletal dysplasias such as Apert syndrome and achondroplasia. In vitro experiments and the generation of animal models indicate that these...
