The missense mutation W290R in <i>Fgfr2</i> causes developmental defects from aberrant IIIb and IIIc signaling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Missense mutations in the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) have been identified in human craniosynostotic syndromes such as Crouzon (CS) and Pfeiffer (PS). FGFR2 has two major isoforms, IIIb and IIIc, generated through alternative splicing with their own temporal, spatial, and ligand-binding specificities. In this study, we report the identification and characterization of a missense mutation in codon 290 of murine Fgfr2 (W290R). The defects in W290R mutants are suggestive of disruption of signalling in both IIIb and IIIc isoforms of the Fgfr2 gene. Heterozygous mutants presented with features resembling those found in patients with CS. Fgfr2(W290R) homozygotes displayed constitutive FGFR2 activation with increased, but correct tissue-specific, expression of the IIIb and IIIc isoforms in many of the defective organs. Our Fgfr2(W290R) mouse model thus represents an excellent mouse model of CS to probe the many questions around the pathogenesis of craniosynostotic birth defects consequent to defects in FGF signaling.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
