Overexpression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) has been shown to drive oncogenesis in a subset of patients with multiple myeloma. However, epithelial cancers — such as bladder ...
ABOUT Achondroplasia Achondroplasia is disease in which a genetic mutation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor type 3 (FGFR3) causes FGFR3 to be activated, resulting in an excessive influx of ...
Achondroplasia is a rare genetic disorder of bone growth that causes short-limbed dwarfism. It occurs due to mutations in a single gene called the FGFR3.
"We believe FGFR3 is the right target for achondroplasia, with almost one hundred percent of cases being driven by a specific mutation in the FGFR3 gene. TYRA-300 has the potential to precisely ...
The medicine is a daily injection, called vosoritide, which blocks a signal controlled by the faulty gene FGFR3 that impairs normal bone growth in children with achondroplasia. Researchers say the ...
