Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, characterized by the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull ( craniosynostosis ), which affects the shape of the head and face. The syndrome includes abnormalities of the hands and feet, such as wide and deviated thumbs and big toes. Pfeiffer syndrome is caused by mutations in the fibroblast ...
View/Edit Mouse. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 ( FGFR1 ), also known as basic fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, fms-related tyrosine kinase-2 / Pfeiffer syndrome, and CD 331, is a receptor tyrosine kinase whose ligands are specific members of the fibroblast growth factor family. FGFR1 has been shown to be associated with Pfeiffer ...
Cardiocranial syndrome, Pfeiffer type is a rare multiple disorder syndrome characterized by congenital heart defects, sagittal craniosynostosis, and severe developmental delay. The condition has been reported in less than 10 patients worldwide. Signs and symptoms. Features of this condition include: Abnormal heart morphology
Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder known as a branchial arch syndrome. Specifically, this syndrome affects the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, which is the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Because the branchial arches are important developmental features in a growing embryo, disturbances in their development ...
Type 3 diabetes is a proposed pathological linkage between Alzheimer's disease and certain features of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [1] Specifically, the term refers to a set of common biochemical and metabolic features seen in the brain in Alzheimer's disease, and in other tissues in diabetes; [1] [2] it may thus be considered a "brain-specific ...
View/Edit Mouse. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 ( FGFR2) also known as CD332 ( cluster of differentiation 332) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFR2 gene residing on chromosome 10. [5] [6] FGFR2 is a receptor for fibroblast growth factor . The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor ...
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a disorder of the heart muscle in people with diabetes. It can lead to inability of the heart to circulate blood through the body effectively, a state known as heart failure (HF), [2] with accumulation of fluid in the lungs ( pulmonary edema) or legs ( peripheral edema ). Most heart failure in people with diabetes ...
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, recently renamed as arginine vasopressin resistance (AVP-R) and also previously known as renal diabetes insipidus, is a form of diabetes insipidus primarily due to pathology of the kidney. This is in contrast to central or neurogenic diabetes insipidus, which is caused by insufficient levels of vasopressin (also ...
