Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Studies on animal models and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR2)-associated craniosynostosis syndromes suggest that FGFR2 plays a crucial role in craniofacial development. Therefore, the present exploratory study aims to investigate the relationship between functional genetic polymorphisms of FGFR2 and variations in facial morphology. METHODS: Frontal and lateral photographs of healthy boys...
