Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The signaling pathway of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and its receptor (natriuretic peptide receptor 2, NPR2) is implicated in the process of endochondral ossification, which is crucial for the linear growth of long bones. Loss-of-function mutations in the NPR2 gene cause short stature. This study aimed to identify and characterize truncating mutations in NPR2 among Chinese families with short...
