Septal chondrocyte hypertrophy contributes to midface deformity in a mouse model of Apert syndrome

Abstract Midface hypoplasia is a major manifestation of Apert syndrome. However, the tissue component responsible for midface hypoplasia has not been elucidated. We studied mice with a chondrocyte-specific Fgfr2 S252W mutation (Col2a1-cre; Fgfr2 S252W/+) to investigate the effect of cartilaginous co...
