Craniosynostosis: genes and mechanisms

Wilkie, A.·1997·Human Molecular Genetics

Abstract

Enlargement of the skull vault occurs by appositional growth at the fibrous joints between the bones, termed cranial sutures. Relatively little is known about the developmental biology of this process, but genetically determined disorders of premature cranial suture fusion (craniosynostosis) provide one route to the identification of some of the key molecules involved. Mutations of the MSX2, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and TWIST genes yield new insights, both into normal and abnormal cranial suture biogenesis and into problems of broad interest, such as the conservation of molecular pathways in development, and mechanisms of mutation and dominance.

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.
