FGF signaling is a key pathway strictly involved in many stages of ossification and gain of function mutations of many FGF pathway components have been associated with bone diseases like craniosynostosis and chondrodysplasia. The fine-tuning of the FGF signaling pathway is achieved at different levels, both intracellularly and by extracellular glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which play a critical role in ligand and receptor binding. In this work, I show that the deficiency of iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS), which is involved in GAGs catabolism, perturbs FGF signaling leading to early bone defects before the onset of evident massive GAGs storage. A defective IDS activity causes a rare lysosomal storage disease called Mucopolysaccharidosis type II, ...
