Abstract excerpt
Apert syndrome is characterized by craniosynostosis and syndactyly, and is predominantly caused by mutation of either S252W or P253W in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 gene. In this study, we characterized the effects of one of the mutations (S252W) using primary calvarial osteoblasts derived from transgenic mice, Ap-Tg and sAp-Tg, that expressed an Apert-type mutant FGFR2 (FGFR2IIIc-S252W;...
