Knock-in human FGFR3 achondroplasia mutation as a mouse model for human skeletal dysplasia
23 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Achondroplasia (ACH), the most common genetic dwarfism in human, is caused by a gain-of function mutation in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Currently, there is no effective treatment for ACH. The development of an appropriate human-relevant model is important for testing potential therapeutic interventions before human clinical trials. Here, we have generated an ACH mouse model in which the...
