Abstract excerpt
Mutations in FGFR1 and TWIST1 have been reported to affect the timing of calvarial suture fusion resulting in craniosynostosis and facial abnormalities. We screened nonpathologic populations for genetic polymorphisms that may associate with normal craniofacial variation. We identified 17 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FGFR1, 6 of which were novel (g.8591855G-->A, g.8593685G-->A, g.8602303C-->T,...
