Mapping of murine fibroblast growth factor receptors refines regions of homology between mouse and human chromosomes

Genomics. 1994 Jun;21(3):656-8. doi: 10.1006/geno.1994.1330.

Abstract

The genes for the fibroblast growth factor receptors Fgfr2, Fgfr3, and Fgfr4 have been mapped in the mouse using an interspecific backcross mapping panel. The Fgfr loci map to previously defined regions of homology between human and mouse chromosomes and provide additional information regarding human/mouse comparative mapping.
