Abstract excerpt
Crouzon craniofacial dysostosis (CFD) is an autosomal dominant form of craniosynostosis characterized by an abnormal skull shape, with hypertelorism, prominent eyes and midfacial retrusion. Recently, a gene for CFD has been mapped to chromosome 10q25-q26 and mutations in exon B of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene have been identified. Here, we report the mapping of a CFD gene to chromosome 10q...
