Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene are responsible for a broad spectrum of skeletal dysplasias, including achondroplasia (ACH). The classic phenotype of ACH is caused by two highly prevalent mutations, c.1138G > A and c.1138G > C (p.Gly380Arg). In the homozygous state, these variant results in a severe skeletal dysplasia, neurologic deficits, and early demise from...
