Abstract excerpt
Achondroplasia, associated with gain-of-function mutations in FGFR3, causes growth plate cartilage dysfunction, resulting in short-limb dwarfism. However, its precise molecular and cellular mechanisms remain unclear. To address this, we aimed to generate knock-in mice (Fgfr3Ach) harboring the achondroplasia mutation (p.Gly380Arg). In addition to previously reported abnormalities, we observe an expansion of the...
