Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are the most common forms of disproportionate short stature, of which the vast majority of cases can be attributed to the hotspot missense mutations in the gene FGFR3. Here we presented cases with a novel cryptic splicing variant of FGFR3 gene and aimed to interrogate the variant pathogenicity. CASE PRESENTAITON: In whole exome sequencing of two patients with...
