Genetics of craniosynostosis: genes, syndromes, mutations and genotype-phenotype correlations.

Abstract excerpt

Craniosynostosis is a very heterogeneous group of disorders, in the etiology of which genetics play an important role. Chromosomal alterations are important causative mechanisms of the syndromic forms of craniosynostosis accounting for at least 10% of the cases. Mutations in 7 genes are unequivocally associated with mendelian forms of syndromic craniosynostosis: FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, TWIST1, EFNB1, MSX2 and RAB23....
