The study of the neurobehavioral consequences of mutations of FMR1, the gene responsible for fragile X syndrome (FraX), has been based largely on correlations between mutation patterns and cognitive profile. Following the characterization of FMRP, the FMR1 gene product, preliminary correlations betw

β¦ Synopsis
We report on a girl with Floating-Harbor syndrome, trigonocephaly due to metopic suture synostosis, preauricular pit, hypoplastic thumb, subluxated radial head, and Sprengel deformity. A review suggests that trigonocephaly may be an important craniofacial manifestation in this syndrome that is recognizable in infancy. With time, this finding appears to become less noticeable, and the face develops a triangular shape, accentuated by a broad and bulbous nose. Am. J.

The tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome demonstrates kinky curly hair, thin-pitted enamel, taurodontism, and thickening of cortical bone. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the phenotypic variation of TDO in 3, previously unreported, kindreds and to examine possible candidates for

Crouzon syndrome (CS) is characterized by premature craniosynostosis, orbital proptosis, and midfacial hypoplasia and is related to the acrocephalosyndactylies (ACS) with limb abnormalities. In CS the hands are considered to be normal, but a previous report indicated that there is consistent alterat
