Preferred Label : Craniosynostosis with anomalies of the cranial base and digits;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : Woon et al. (1980) described presumably monozygotic male twins who died at ages 2
and 3 months and who showed identical changes in skull and limbs: premature craniosynostosis,
synchondrosis of the bones at the base of the skull, absent thumbs, absence of the
middle phalanges of fingers 2 and 5, and proximally placed halluces. The mother was
Mexican American and the father Sioux Indian without known consanguinity. Chromosomes
were normal. *FIELD* RF 1. Woon, K.-C.; Kokich, V. G.; Clarren, S. K.; Cohen, M. M.,
