Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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.

Extractions: Apert syndrome, also known as acrocephalosyndactyly type I (ACS1), is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is primarily characterized by distinctive malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) region and defects of the hands and feet. In some instances, mental retardation may also be present. In infants with Apert syndrome, the fibrous joints between certain bones in the skull (cranial sutures) close prematurely (craniosynostosis), causing the head to appear abnormally pointed at the top (acrocephaly). Affected infants also have characteristic facial abnormalities, such as widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), abnormal protrusion of the eyes (exophthalmos), underdevelopment of midfacial regions (midface hypoplasia), and/or a narrow roof of the mouth (palate). Malformations of the hands and feet may include unusually broad thumbs and great toes, short fingers, and/or partial to complete fusion (syndactyly) of certain fingers and toes (digits). Most commonly, there is complete fusion of bones within the second to the fourth fingers and the presence of a single common nail ("mitten-like" syndactyly).

http://www.kidsplastsurg.com/crouzon.html

Extractions: Crouzon's and Apert's Syndrome OVERVIEW Crouzon and Apert syndromes are the most common of the craniosynostosis syndromes. Craniosynostosis refers to the early closing of one or more of the sutures of an infant's head. The skull is normally composed of bones which are separated by sutures. This diagram shows the different sutures which can be involved. As an infant's brain grows, open sutures allow the skull to expand and develop a relatively normal head shape. If one or more of the sutures has closed early, it causes the skull to expand in the direction of the open sutures. This can result in an abnormal head shape. In severe cases, this condition can also cause increased pressure on the growing brain. The coronal suture goes from ear to ear on the top of the head and fusion of both sides ( bicoronal synostosis or brachycephaly) results in a very flat, recessed forehead. This is the suture fusion found most often in Crouzon and Apert Syndromes. In addition to craniosynostosis these children also have fusion of the sutures or bones in the cranial base and midface, and shallow eye sockets. This gives the appearance of a flat midface and eyes which protrude. In addition, children with Apert Syndrome have syndactaly (webbing) of the hands and feet.

Extractions: Most cases of Apert syndrome are sporadic. This means that there is no family history of the syndrome and it is unlikely to occur again in another pregnancy. However if you have Apert syndrome, you have a 1 in 2 or a 50% chance of having a child with Apert syndrome for each pregnancy. This is because Apert syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Is There Testing?

Help Apert syndrome Apert syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull (craniosynostosis), which prevents further growth of the skull and affects the shape of the head and face. In addition, a varied number of fingers and toes are fused together (syndactyly). Many of the characteristic facial features of Apert syndrome result from the premature fusion of the skull bones. The head is unable to grow normally, which leads to a sunken appearance in the middle of the face, bulging and wide-set eyes, a beaked nose, and an underdeveloped upper jaw leading to crowded teeth and other dental problems. Shallow eye sockets can cause vision problems. Hearing loss may be present. Recurrent ear infections are common and may be associated with cleft palate. Acne can be severe. Additionally, individuals with Apert syndrome have webbed or fused fingers and toes. The severity of the fusion varies; at a minimum, three digits on each hand and foot are fused together. In the most severe cases, all of the fingers and toes are fused. Intellectual development also varies, ranging from normal to mild or moderate mental retardation.
