| A rare genetic cranial malformation syndrome with characteristics of premature fusion of multiple or all calvarial sutures (resulting in variable abnormal shape of the head), midface hypoplasia, delayed and ectopic tooth eruption and supernumerary teeth. Associated facial dysmorphism includes proptosis, hypertelorism, beaked nose, and relative prognathism. Variable digital anomalies (for example finger and/or toe syndactyly, clinodactyly), short stature, cognitive and/or motor delay, high palate, ear deformity and conductive hearing loss have also been reported. There is evidence this disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the IL11RA gene on chromosome 9p13. |
