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 ...

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 ...
1:30,000 (males), 1:125,000 (females) Kallmann syndrome ( KS) is a genetic disorder that prevents a person from starting or fully completing puberty. Kallmann syndrome is a form of a group of conditions termed hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. To distinguish it from other forms of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, Kallmann syndrome has the additional ...
A new study has revealed that roughly 90% of Americans may have cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. The risks are greatest among older adults, men, and Black individuals, the report ...
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
Pfeiffer syndrome: abnormalities of the skull, hands, and feet; wide-set, bulging eyes, an underdeveloped upper jaw, beaked nose. Saethre–Chotzen syndrome: short or broad head; the eyes may be spaced wide apart and have palpebral ptosis (droopy eyelids), and fingers maybe abnormally short and webbed.
