Targeted allele-specific FGFR2 knockdown via human recombinant ferritin nanoparticles for personalized treatment of Crouzon syndrome
12 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic craniofacial malformation caused by heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in the FGFR2 gene. The resulting constitutive activation of the FGFR2 signaling causes the premature osteogenic differentiation of calvarial mesenchymal stromal cells in skull sutures, leading to early suture ossification. Craniectomy is the gold standard treatment, being invasive and burdened by...
