Abstract excerpt
Dysregulations of osteoblast function induced by gain-of-function genetic mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) cause premature fusion of cranial sutures in syndromic craniosynostosis. The pathogenic signaling mechanisms induced by FGFR genetic mutations in human craniosynostosis remain largely unknown. In this study, we have used microarray analysis to investigate the signaling pathways that...
