Abstract excerpt
The activating mutation FGFR3-R248C in the D2-D3 linker region of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 leads as germline mutation to the neonatal lethal syndrome thanatophoric dysplasia type I (TD1). As somatic mutation it has been found in cancer. We introduced into the murine FGFR3 the mutation R242C that is orthologoues to the human mutation R248C. A strong reduction in binding of the 16 and 18 kDa forms of...
