Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, characterized by the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull ( craniosynostosis ), which affects the shape of the head and face. The syndrome includes abnormalities of the hands and feet, such as wide and deviated thumbs and big toes. Pfeiffer syndrome is caused by mutations in the fibroblast ...
Cardiocranial syndrome, Pfeiffer type is a rare multiple disorder syndrome characterized by congenital heart defects, sagittal craniosynostosis, and severe developmental delay. The condition has been reported in less than 10 patients worldwide. Signs and symptoms. Features of this condition include: Abnormal heart morphology
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 ( FGFR1 ), also known as basic fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, fms-related tyrosine kinase-2 / Pfeiffer syndrome, and CD 331, is a receptor tyrosine kinase whose ligands are specific members of the fibroblast growth factor family. FGFR1 has been shown to be associated with Pfeiffer syndrome, [5] and ...
Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder known as a branchial arch syndrome. Specifically, this syndrome affects the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, which is the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Because the branchial arches are important developmental features in a growing embryo, disturbances in their development ...
Infectious mononucleosis ( IM, mono ), also known as glandular fever, is an infection usually caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). [2] [3] Most people are infected by the virus as children, when the disease produces few or no symptoms. [2] In young adults, the disease often results in fever, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck ...
Trapezoidocephaly-synostosis syndrome, [1] Antley–Bixler syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Specialty. Medical genetics. Antley–Bixler syndrome is a rare, severe autosomal recessive [2] congenital disorder characterized by malformations and deformities affecting the majority of the skeleton and other areas of the ...
View/Edit Mouse. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 ( FGFR2) also known as CD332 ( cluster of differentiation 332) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFR2 gene residing on chromosome 10. [5] [6] FGFR2 is a receptor for fibroblast growth factor . The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor ...
Apert syndrome. Apert syndrome is a form of acrocephalosyndactyly, a congenital disorder characterized by malformations of the skull, face, hands and feet. It is classified as a branchial arch syndrome, affecting the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Disturbances in the development of the branchial ...
