Journal ArticleDOI

Apert syndrome results from localized mutations of FGFR2 and is allelic with Crouzon syndrome.

TL;DR: Specific missense substitutions involving adjacent amino acids (Ser252Trp and Pro253Arg) in the linker between the second and third extracellular immunoglobulin domains of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) in all 40 unrelated cases of Apert syndrome are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene cause Crouzon syndrome.

TL;DR: Direct sequencing has revealed specific mutations in the B exon of FGFR2 in all nine sporadic and familial cases, including replacement of a cysteine in an immunoglobulin-like domain in five patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subtle chromosomal rearrangements in children with unexplained mental retardation.

TL;DR: Owing to the high prevalence of familial cases, screening for subtle chromosomal rearrangements is warranted in children with unexplained moderate to severe mental retardation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identical mutations in the FGFR2 gene cause both Pfeiffer and Crouzon syndrome phenotypes.

TL;DR: Six of the seven Pfeiffer syndrome patients share two missense mutations, which have also been reported in Crouzon syndrome, and point mutations in FGFR2 are reported in seven sporadic Pfeiffsers.
