Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor receptor-like 1 (FGFRL1) is a recently discovered transmembrane protein whose functions remain unclear. Since mutations in the related receptors FGFR1-3 cause skeletal malformations, DNA samples from 55 patients suffering from congenital skeletal malformations and 109 controls were searched for mutations in FGFRL1. One patient was identified harboring a frameshift mutation in the...
