Abstract

Syndromic craniosynostose exhibit variable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Many of this disorders are caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor genes: FGFR2, FGFR3 (encoding fibroblast growth factor receptors), TWIST1 (functions as an upstream regulator of FGFRs) and EFNB1 (gene encoding fibrillin1). However recent advances in molecular genetics have led to a discover of other genes implicated in different craniosynostosis syndromes.
