A deletion of FGFR2 creating a chimeric IIIb/IIIc exon in a child with Apert syndrome
Background: Signalling by fibroblast growth factor receptor type 2 (FGFR2) normally involves a tissue-specific alternative splice choice between two exons (IIIb and IIIc), which generates two receptor isoforms (FGFR2b and FGFR2c respectively) with differing repertoires of FGF-binding specificity. He...
