The craniosynostosis syndromes are clinically heterogeneous with overlapping features, which make an accurate diagnosis difficult at times. Although the clarification of a genetic lesion does not have a direct impact on patient management in many cases, there is a significant benefit in providing accurate prenatal diagnosis. Genetic counsellors are also able to offer better risk estimates of recurrences to non\u2010manifesting carriers and their extended family members and for affected patients of reproductive age. Advances in gene discovery have shown that craniosynostosis syndromes delineated on clinical bases, with the possible exception of Apert syndrome, are genetically heterogeneous, and mutations have been found in fibroblast growth factor receptors (<jats:italic>FGFR<\/jats:italic>) 1, 2, 3 and <jats:italic>TWIST<\/jats:italic>. We surveyed 99 craniosynostosis patients at the molecular level and found mutations in 50 of them. Six novel point mutations were identified: three in <jats:italic>FGFR2<\/jats:italic> and three in <jats:italic>TWIST<\/jats:italic>. Two Saethre\u2013Chotzen patients with <jats:italic>TWIST<\/jats:italic> microdeletions at 7p21 were also found. The other mutations identified have been previously reported. In studying these 99 patients, we developed a diagnostic strategy for craniosynostosis testing, where sequential analysis of recurrent mutations was followed by selective sequencing. This algorithm makes testing of craniosynostosis disorders more efficient and cost\u2010effective. \u00a9 2003 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.20258","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,23]],"date-time":"2003-07-23T10:12:06Z","timestamp":1058955126000},"page":"470-473","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Screening of patients with craniosynostosis: Molecular strategy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"120A","author":[{"given":"Kathy","family":"Chun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmad S.","family":"Teebi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cyrus","family":"Azimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leslie","family":"Steele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter N.","family":"Ray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng1096-174"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.10400"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"Craniosynostosis: Diagnosis, evaluation, and management","author":"Cohen MM","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng0197-42"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/MCB.21.21.7416-7428.2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng0197-36"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/302122"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ejhg.5200499"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/338758"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng1194-269"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","first-page":"555","article-title":"A unique point mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3) defines a new craniosynostosis syndrome","volume":"60","author":"Muenke M","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am J Hum Genet"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/302245"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/4.7.1229"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","first-page":"321","article-title":"Analysis of phenotypic features and FGFR2 mutations in Apert syndrome","volume":"57","author":"Park WJ","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Hum Genet"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/301855"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1159\/000472215","article-title":"Spectrum of craniosynostosis phenotypes associated with novel mutations at the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 locus","volume":"4","author":"Pulleyn LJ","year":"1996","journal-title":"Eur J Hum Genet"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng0994-98"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng0295-173"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/4.3.323"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.10449"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-8628(19961202)66:1<81::AID-AJMG19>3.0.CO;2-M"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.10125"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng0295-165"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fajmg.a.20258","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.20258","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T14:13:04Z","timestamp":1696947184000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.20258"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,17]]},"references-count":23,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2003,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ajmg.a.20258"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.20258","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1552-4825","1552-4833"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1552-4825","type":"print"},{"value":"1552-4833","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,17]]}}}
