Abstract excerpt
Apert syndrome is a recognizable craniofacial condition characterized by craniosynostosis, hypertelorism, exorbitism, midface hypoplasia, and complex symmetrical bony and cutaneous 'mitten' syndactyly of all four limbs. Around 98% of affected patients have one of two heterozygous missense variants in the FGFR2 gene, encoding either p.(Ser252Trp) (S252W) or p.(Pro253Arg) (P253R). We report a patient with...
