Achondroplasia: Development, pathogenesis, and therapy

Abstract: Autosomal dominant mutations in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3 (FGFR3) cause Achondroplasia (Ach), the most common form of dwarfism in humans, and related chondrodysplasia syndromes that include Hypochondroplasia (Hch), Severe Achondroplasia with Developmental Delay and Acanthosis Nigricans (SADDAN), and Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD). FGFR3 is expressed in chondrocytes and mature osteoblasts where it functions to regulate bone growth. Analysis of the mutations in FGFR3 revealed increased signaling through … Show more

“…Exposure to hormones or paracrine factors known to antagonize the actions of GC-B by activating G protein coupled receptors also leads to the dephosphorylation [21,25,43] and inactivation [22, 23, 27, 35, 39, 40, 46, 47] of GC-B in other cell types. However, except for a study of luteinizing hormone action on ovarian follicles [25], these previous studies did not couple changes in GC-B phosphorylation to physiological events.…”

“…However, except for a study of luteinizing hormone action on ovarian follicles [25], these previous studies did not couple changes in GC-B phosphorylation to physiological events. The present study links GC-B dephosphorylation and inactivation by a growth factor receptor to mechanisms that regulate bone growth [6,10].…”

“…The growth plate is a major tissue responsible for long bone formation, morphogenesis, and growth in embryonic and postnatal skeletogenesis. Genetic and acquired abnormality of the growth plate causes various types of skeletal disorders . A key role of the growth plate in skeletal growth is to provide the longitudinal and transverse space and environment to newly forming bone.…”

“…These mutations result in ligand‐dependent activation of the mutant FGFR and, in some cases, change in the ligand binding specificity of the FGFR. The only documented example of a FGFR loss‐of‐function mutation occurs in CATSHL syndrome, in which loss of FGFR3 results in skeletal overgrowth due to increased chondrogenesis …”
