Craniosynostoses : Molecular Genetics, Principles of Diagnosis, and Treatment /

, 2011
Craniosynostosis - the premature fusion of the cranial sutures of an infant’s skull - is a challenging and complex condition that can occur as part of a syndrome or in isolation.

High-resolution imaging of craniofacial sutures: new tools for understanding the origins of craniosynostoses

, 2012
The developmental genetics and the biomechanics of sutures are well-studied topics, while their microanatomy is still imperfectly known. Here, we aim to investigate the structure of skull vault sutures using a high-resolution imaging device.

“Heal the sick”: Health status and caregiving during the 17th–18th century in Northern Italy (St. Biagio cemetery, Ravenna)

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 125-140, January 2024.
Abstract Objective The study of health‐related care provision in archeology gives important indications on the culture and community organization of past populations. This study aims to assess the health status of the skeletal assemblage recovered from the burial site of St. Biagio (Ravenna, 17th–18th Centuries); next, we identified likely instances of

Study of environmental and genetic factors in children with craniosynostosis: A case-control study

Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences, 2013
Background: Craniosynostosis is a congenital defect that causes one or more sutures on an infant′s skull to close earlier than normal. Though both genetic and environmental factors play a role in its pathogenesis, there is no published Indian data to ...

[Metotopic craniosynostoses].

Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 2001
Premature closure of the metopic suture leads to inhibited growth of the frontal bones, producing a keel-shaped forehead (trigonocephaly). Simple metopic synostosis is usually sporadic. Trigonocephalic patients account for 8-16% of the referrals to craniofacial centers, with a marked male predominance.

Decreased proliferation and altered differentiation in osteoblasts from genetically and clinically distinct craniosynostotic disorders

, 1999
Craniosynostoses are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by premature fusion of cranial sutures. Mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) have been associated with a number of such conditions.

Closing the Gap: Genetic and Genomic Continuum from Syndromic to Nonsyndromic Craniosynostoses

Current Genetic Medicine Reports, 2014
Craniosynostosis, a condition that includes the premature fusion of one or multiple cranial sutures, is a relatively common birth defect in humans and the second most common craniofacial anomaly after orofacial clefts.

Hearing Loss in Syndromic Craniosynostoses: Introduction and Consideration of Mechanisms

American Journal of Audiology, 2014
Purpose There are a number of craniosynostosis syndromes with hearing loss—including Muenke, Apert, Pfeiffer, Crouzon, Beare-Stevenson, Crouzon with acanthosis nigricans, and Jackson-Weiss syndromes—that result from mutations in the fibroblast growth ...
