Abstract excerpt
Type I thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is typically a lethal neonatal dwarfism, but a limited number of cases of type I TD cases survive more than one year, suggesting genetic heterogeneity. In this study, we analyzed the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene in 5 Japanese cases of type I TD with clinical symptoms ranging from lethal to long-survival. In every case, nucleotide sequence analysis of cDNA...
