Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) Mutation Related Syndromic Craniosynostosis

Abstract: Craniosynostosis results from the premature fusion of cranial sutures, with an incidence of 1 in 2,100-2,500 live births. The majority of cases are non-syndromic and involve single suture fusion, whereas syndromic cases often involve complex multiple suture fusion. The fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene is perhaps the most extensively studied gene that is mutated in various craniosynostotic syndromes including Crouzon, Apert, Pfeiffer, Antley-Bixler, Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata, Jackson-Weiss, B… Show more

“…S252W and P253R are common gene mutation types of FGFR2, although S252W variant is more common ( Azoury et al, 2017 ). This present case showed a fetus affected by P253R mutation, and it often associated with severe syndactyly of the feet and hands, which is confirmed in this case.…”

“…In this case, P253R mutation was a new mutation which was not present in the FGFR2 gene of his parents, thus we consider it as a spontaneous mutation, and it may play an important role in the course of the disease. Cohen et al reported that the probability of AS mutation in a single gene in each generation was about 7.8/10 6 ( Cohen et al, 1992 ), and a complex interaction of environment, epigenetics, and genetics may be involved in AS ( Azoury et al, 2017 ). Because the cases of AS are rare, so reports for Chinese people are even more precious.…”

“…These neural crest developmental abnormalities lead to a variety of developmental defect syndromes, overall referred to as neurocristopathies, including those that are found in cleft palate [ 3 ], Treacher Collins syndrome [ 4 ], Pierre Robin sequence [ 5 ], and craniosynostosis [ 6 ]. The coronal cranial suture is prematurely fused in many individuals with syndromic craniosynostosis, and particularly in those with mutations in FGFR2 or Twist [ 7 , 8 ]. Unlike other cranial sutures, the coronal suture develops between mesoderm-derived parietal and neural crest-derived frontal bone rudiments, and it maintains the boundary between these bone tissues of different embryonic origin during growth [ 9 , 10 ].…”

“…Günümüzde, İnsan Genomu Mutasyon Veri Bankasında (HGMD) CS'la ilişkilendirilmiş 73 gen bildirilmektedir. CS ilişkili gen sayısı artmasına rağmen, SCS ile ilişkili genler arasında FGFR2 %32 ile ilk sırada yer alırken, bunu %25 ile FGFR3 ve %19 ile TWIST1 genleri izlemektedir (4,16). FGFR (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor) grubundan CS ilişkisi tanımlanmış diğer bir gen ise, FGFR1'dir.…”
