Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: An activation mutation in the FGFR3 gene causes ACH. The effects of the FGFR3 mutants on apoptosis were analyzed in a chondrogenic cell line. ACH chondrocytes exhibited marked apoptotic with downregulation of PTHrP expression. Rescue of these cells by PTHrP replacement implies a potential therapy for this disorder. INTRODUCTION: Achondroplasia (ACH), the most common form of short-limb dwarfism, and...
