The cerebral cortex malformation in thanatophoric dysplasia: neuropathology and pathogenesis
Abstract
Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is a relatively common, fatal form of chondrodysplastic dwarfism in which the cerebral cortex displays a unique and complex malformation. The malformation is characterized by a combination of abnormalities, which affect the temporal lobe most severely. Salient features include temporal lobe enlargement, deep transverse sulci across the inferomedial temporal surface, and hippocampal dysplasia. TD is caused by mutations of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor 3 gene (FGFR3), which result in constitutive activation of the FGFR3 tyrosine kinase. However, the link between constitutive FGFR3 activation and malformation of the cortex has been difficult to elucidate. In this review, I describe the neuropathological features of human TD, especially the cortical malformation, ascertained by examination of 45 published cases and 5 new cases, spanning gestational ages from 18 to 42 weeks. The cortical malformation is interpreted with regard to developmental mechanisms, and observations from a mouse model of TD. The evidence suggests that FGFR3 activation perturbs three key processes in cortical development: areal patterning, progenitor proliferation, and apoptosis. Defective patterning accounts for hippocampal dysplasia, while increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis account for temporal lobe hyperplasia and premature development of aberrant sulci. Disturbances in these processes may also contribute to other cortical malformations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
