Abstract excerpt
In classical achondroplasia (Ach), a glycine residue is replaced by an arginine at codon 380 in exon 10 of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3). Here we report on a mother and daughter with hypochondroplasia (Hch) caused by a new heterozygous double mutation (1138_1139GG > AA) at the same codon 380, but encoding a lysine instead of the usual arginine. Previous functional assays of these codon 380...
