Description : Craniofrontonasal syndrome is an X-linked developmental disorder that shows paradoxically
greater severity in heterozygous females than in hemizygous males. Females have frontonasal
dysplasia, craniofacial asymmetry, craniosynostosis, bifid nasal tip, grooved nails,
wiry hair, and abnormalities of the thoracic skeleton, whereas males typically show
only hypertelorism (Twigg et al., 2004; Wieland et al., 2004).;
Inheritance : X-linked dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ephrin B1 gene (EFNB1, 300035.0001);
Prefixed ID : #304110;
Origin ID : 304110;
