| Gene |
FGFR3 |
| Chromosomal Location |
4p16.3 |
| Allelic Variant 1 |
134934.0001; ACHONDROPLASIA; ACH |
| Identified Mutation |
GLY380ARG, 1138G>A; In achondroplasia, codon 380 in the FGFR3 gene is changed from GGG to AGG or CGG (Shiang et al., 1994). Codon 379 is TAC (tyr). Rousseau et al. (1994) found the gly380-to-arg mutation in all 23 cases of achondroplasia studied (17 sporadic and 6 familial). Twenty-two of the 23 probands had the G-to-A transition; only 1 had the G-to-C transversion (134934.0002). See also Ikegawa et al. (1995).
Nucleotide 1138 of the FGFR3 gene may be one of the most mutable bases in the human genome. Wilkie (1997) commented that it seems unlikely to be coincidental that the 3 highest germline point mutation rates described in the human (elevated approximately 1000-fold over background) all concern FGFRs: G380R in FGFR3, P250R also in FGFR3 (134934.0014), and S252W in FGFR2 (176943.0010). These 3 mutations result in achondroplasia, Muenke nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis, and Apert syndrome, respectively. Increased paternal age associated with achondroplasia and Apert syndrome has long been known, and an exclusively paternal origin of mutation was shown in studies of 57 Apert syndrome patients by Moloney et al. (1996) and in 10 achondroplasia patients by Szabo et al. (1996).

| Remarks |
Mother and father are also affected; small thorax and extremely short limbs noted at birth; large head; large anterior fontanel; short hands with typical severe trident appearance; severe shortening of ribs and long bones; see GM11316 Lymphoid; donor subject is homozygous for a G>A transition at nucleotide 1138 of the FGFR3 gene resulting in the substitution of arginine for glycine at codon 380 [Gly380Arg (G380R)] |
