Green List (high evidence)

FGFR3 has many well-established gene-disease associations with various skeletal dysplasia phenotypes. Gain-of-function is the main mechanism of disease for these disorders, except camptodactyly-tall stature-scoliosis-hearing loss syndrome (CATSHL syndrome, see separate curation below). Specific monoallelic variants cause different phenotypes: >99% achondroplasia is caused by variants leading to the missense change p.Gly380Arg; Cysteine substitutions and stop-loss protein elongation variants are highly specific for Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) type 1; p.Lys650Glu is associated with TD type 2; p.Ala391Glu causes Crouzon syndrome with acanthosis nigricans; and p.Pro250Arg causes Muenke syndrome.
Moderate evidence for CATSHL syndrome, AD & AR: PMID: 8630492, 17033969, 27139183, 24864036, 32641982 - 2 apparently unrelated families segregating the same missense, p.Arg621His. One consanguineous family with 2 affected brothers with homozygous p.Thr546Lys. Heterozygous individuals in the family were unaffected. No functional assays were conducted for either missense to demonstrate loss of function. Null mouse and zebrafish models are similar to the human CATSHL syndrome phenotype.

There are reports of seizures in hypochondroplasia (likely related to temporal lobe abnormalities).
