A case of Pfeiffer syndrome with c833_834GC>TG (Cys278Leu) mutation in the FGFR2 gene
Min Young Lee, Ga Won Jeon, Ji Mi Jung, Jong Beom Sin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(7):774-777.   Published online July 31, 2010

Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by coronal craniosynostosis, brachycephaly, mid-facial hypoplasia, and broad and deviated thumbs and great toes. Pfeiffer syndrome occurs in approximately 1:100,000 live births. Clinical manifestations and molecular genetic testing are important to confirm the diagnosis. Mutations of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene or FGFR2 gene can cause Pfeiffer syndrome....

A Case of Apert`s Syndrome(Acrocophalosyndactyly) with Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 Exon Ⅲa Mutation
Hyung Su K, Pyl Soon Yang, Jee Yeoun Kang, Ok Young Kim, Chul Hae Ku, Wha Mo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(7):1006-1011.   Published online July 15, 2000
Apert syndrome is an uncommon congenital disorder characterized by malformation of the skull in association with symmetrical syndactyly of both hands and feet. This syndrome is autosomal dominant. The original description was presented by Apert in 1906. Since then more than 200 cases have been reported in the world. Recently, we experienced a case of newhorn male infant with congenital...
A Case of FGFR2 Exon Ⅲc Mutation in Crouzon Syndrome
Seon Chan Bae, Eun Ha Lee, Moon Sung Park, Si Houn Hah, Chang Ho Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(12):1717-1721.   Published online December 15, 1998
Crouzon syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder, has characteristic features of craniosynostosis, hypertelorism, exophthalmos, maxillary hypoplasia and relative mandibular prognathism. Mutations of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2(FGFR2) gene are associated with craniosynostotic conditions, such as Crouzon syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, Apert syndrome and Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata. We found one child with common morphological features of Crouzon syndrome. Interestingly, she...
