Abstract excerpt
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a mechanosensitive ion channel highly expressed in chondrocytes that supports cartilage development and homeostasis. Mutations in the channel can cause skeletal dysplasias, including the gain-of-function mutations V620I and T89I, which lead to brachyolmia and metatropic dysplasia, respectively. These mutations suppress hypertrophic differentiation, but the...
