It has been known for several years that mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR2) result in syndromic craniosynostosis including Apert, Crouzon, or Pfeiffer syndromes. Here, we report on a child with a clinically diagnosed Crouzon syndrome that shows the missense point mutation S267P in FGFR2 gene. The mutation is firstly identified in Crouzon syndrome. Our observations expand the molecular spectrum of FGFR2 mutations in the syndrome.
多年来已知成纤维细胞生长因子受体(FGFR2)的突变会导致综合征性颅缝早闭,包括Apert综合征、Crouzon综合征或Pfeiffer综合征。在此,我们报告一名临床诊断为Crouzon综合征的儿童,其FGFR2基因存在错义点突变S267P。该突变首次在Crouzon综合征中被鉴定出来。我们的观察结果扩展了该综合征中FGFR2突变的分子谱。
