Abstract excerpt
Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD), the commonest lethal skeletal dysplasia in humans, is accounted for by recurrent mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR 3), causing its constitutive activation in vitro. Taking advantage of medical abortion of 18 TD fetuses, cartilage sections were studied for FGFR 3 gene expression by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Specific antibodies...
