Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in human molecular genetics have identified mutations in the TWIST, FGFR-1, FGFR-2 and FGFR-3 genes to be important causes of craniosynostosis. Despite this, however, mutations cannot be identified in the majority of patients. This study reports the first comprehensive screen of mutations in TWIST, FGFR-1, FGFR-2 and FGFR-3 genes in a cohort of patients with craniosynostosis. This has led to the...
