Disease: Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE We classified the other positive diagnoses as follows: commonly mutated craniosynostosis genes with atypical presentation (<i>EFNB1</i>, <i>TWIST1</i>); other core craniosynostosis genes (<i>CDC45</i>, <i>MSX2, ZIC1</i>); genes for which mutations are only rarely associated with craniosynostosis (<i>FBN1</i>, <i>HUWE1</i>, <i>KRAS</i>, <i>STAT3</i>); and known disease genes for which a causal relationship with craniosynostosis is currently unknown (<i>AHDC1</i>, <i>NTRK2</i>). 27884935 2017
