Abstract excerpt
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) (OMIM 119600) is a rare dysplasia of osseous and dental tissue. Characteristic features are typical facial and dental appearance plus morphologic anomalies.

This study describes the genotype-phenotype correlation based on craniofacial features involving an...
