Severe achondroplasia due to two de novo variants in the transmembrane domain of FGFR3 on the same allele: A case report

Abstract Background Achondroplasia (ACH), the most common form of short‐limbed skeletal dysplasia, is caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene. More than 97% of patients result from a heterozygous p.G380R mutation in the FGFR3 gene. We present here...
