Abstract excerpt
Dominant mutations in three fibroblast growth factor receptor genes (FGFRs1-3) cause Crouzon, Jackson-Weiss, Pfeiffer, and Apert syndromes. In the present study, 50 Brazilian patients with these four syndromes (27 Apert, 17 Crouzon, 5 Pfeiffer, and 1 Jackson-Weiss patients) were screened for mutations in the FGFR1-3 genes. Except for one, all the Apert patients had either S252W (n = 16) or P253R (n = 10)...
