Research Abstract |
The aim of the present study is to develop a study model and medical treatment procedure for the FGFR2-related craniosynostosis syndromes. In the present study, a new recombinant congenic strain of mice, which is a model for the dysplasia of bone and cartilage, was successfully established, and the onset of the disease in the mice was significantly associated with the genetic locus of FGFR2. By using the animal model and gene delivery system to the tissue around bone using nanobubbles and ultrasound, it became to be possible to perform an experimental molecular therapy using the Ig-Fc fusion protein of FGFR2 against the study model for the FGFR-related dysplasia of bone and cartilage.
