Gain-of-function amino acid substitutions drive positive selection of FGFR2 mutations in human spermatogonia.
Despite the importance of mutation in genetics, there are virtually no experimental data on the occurrence of specific nucleotide substitutions in human gametes. C>G transversions at position 755 of FGF receptor 2 (FGFR2) cause Apert syndrome; this mutation, encoding the gain-of-function subs...
