Craniosynostosis with tracheal sleeve: a patient with Pfeiffer syndrome, tracheal sleeve and additional malformations in whom anFGFR2mutation was found

We discuss a patient with Pfeiffer syndrome who had a tracheal sleeve and anFGFR2mutation. In the light of our findings, and previous reports of patients with craniosynostosis that also reported similar mutations, we suggest that genomic screening forFGFR2may be useful in cases with negativeFGFR2mut...

Zusammenfassung:We discuss a patient with Pfeiffer syndrome who had a tracheal sleeve and anFGFR2mutation. In the light of our findings, and previous reports of patients with craniosynostosis that also reported similar mutations, we suggest that genomic screening forFGFR2may be useful in cases with negativeFGFR2mutation testing.
