APERT SYNDROME Description Apert Syndrome, first described in 1906 by E. Apert, a French physician, is characterized by malformations (abnormal growth) of the skull and face accompanied by fusion (webbing) of the fingers and toes. The shape of the head appears long and pointed at the top. Wide-set, bulging eyes that tilt down at the sides, a sunken-in looking mid face (middle of eye socket to upper jaw) and dental crowding are often found. Skulls of newborns are comprised of sutures or plates that are loosely connected and eventually join together to form the skull. This fusion (craniosynostosis) can cause increased pressure on the brain as it develops causing the head to grow upwards. Visual problems due to eye muscle imbalance Hearing loss due to frequent infections Severe acne Mild mental retardation Cleft palate Hyperactive sweat glands Prevalence/Causes Apert syndrome occurs in approximately 1:160,000 live births. It is caused by a genetic mutation (change). Neither parent is responsible for this mutation first occurring in a family line.

Kaplan, MD, and published in Clinics in Plastic Surgery-Vol. 18, No. 2, April 1991. Major Features of Apert Syndrome Prematurely fused cranial sutures A retruded midface Fused fingers Fused toes Possible Related Features of Apert Syndrome These have been observed in some cases of Apert syndrome, although whether they were caused by Apert syndrome is uncertain. Various heart defects Dextrorotation Pulmonary Atresia Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Tracheoesophageal Fistula Pyloric stenosis Polycystic kidneys Bicornate uterus Hydrocephalus Ear infections Sleep Apnea Severe acne Increased incidence of eye injuries Definition Apert Syndrome is a genetic defect and falls under the broad classification of craniofacial/limb anomalies. It can be inherited from a parent who has Apert, or may be a fresh mutation. It occurs in approximately 1 per 160,000 to 200,000 live births. Apert syndrome is primarily characterized by specific malformations of the skull, midface, hands, and feet. The skull is prematurely fused and unable to grow normally; the midface (that area of the face from the middle of the eye socket to the upper jaw) appears retruded or sunken; and the fingers and toes are fused together in varying degrees. Apert syndrome is named for the French physician who first described it, E. Apert, in 1906.

77. Apert Syndrome apert syndrome REASONS FOR REFERRAL To determine whether apert syndrome is responsible for abnormalities in the skull, hands, feet, or eyes. http://genetics.hillcrest.com/apert_syndrome.htm

Chapman Homepage Molecular Homepage Molecular Test Listing Molecular Requisition APERT SYNDROME: Apert Syndrome is generally a very distinctive and severe form of craniosynostosis, which is caused by a Pro252Arg mutation on the FGFR2 gene (chromosome 10). Apert syndrome not only features the premature closure of the sutures of the skull which can lead to mental retardation, bulging eyes and head dysmorphology, but there is generally severe hand and feet involvement. The appendages have varying degrees of syndactyly ranging from the fusion of several fingers and toes to a flipper like appearance. The prognosis is very poor. The severity of the mutation almost always is a result of a spontaneous mutation in the child. The mutation that causes this phenotype is located at a flexure point between the second and third receptor-loop structures of the extracellular end of the receptor. This is the analogous location of the mild Pfeiffer causing mutation on FGFR1 and the nonsyndromic mutation on FGFR3. This test is performed as part of the Craniosynostosis Syndromes REASONS FOR REFERRAL: To determine whether Apert syndrome is responsible for abnormalities in the skull, hands, feet, or eyes.

Prevention Alternate Names Acrocephalosyndactyly Definition Apert syndrome is a genetic disease. It can be inherited or it may occur without a known family history. It is characterized by premature closure of the seams between the skull bones, which results in a peaked head and an unusual facial appearance. Causes and Risk Apert syndrome is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait (which means that only one parent needs to have the condition for a child to potentially be affected). Some cases also appear spontaneously without a family history. The condition is caused by mutations in a gene called fibroblast growth factor receptor 2. This mutation causes some of the bony sutures of the skull close prematurely (a process called craniosynostosis) which can cause asymmetric growth and give the head a distorted shape. The face is distinctive looking and there may be full-length webbing or fusion between the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers, as well as the toes. In addition, as the child grows, the bones in the hands and feet become progressively fused, which reduces flexibility and function. There are several other syndromes which have a similar appearance and include craniosynostosis (premature suture fusion): Carpenter syndrome (kleeblattschadel, cloverleaf skull deformity)
