Molecular and cellular bases of syndromic craniosynostoses.

Abstract excerpt

Premature fusion of cranial sutures underlies the clinical condition of 'craniosynostosis', a common human disorder that occurs in both nonsyndromic and syndromic forms. The subgroup of syndromic craniosynostoses usually associates limb abnormalities and facial dysmorphism to skull distortion. Over the past decade, some of the genes causing these phenotypes have been identified. Among these, the gene encoding...
