Description : Crouzon syndrome with acanthosis nigricans is considered to be a distinct disorder
from classic Crouzon syndrome (123500), which is caused by mutation in the FGFR2 gene
(176943). Cohen (1999) argued that this condition is separate from Crouzon syndrome
for 2 main reasons: it is caused by a highly specific mutation of the FGFR3 gene,
whereas multiple different FGFR2 mutations result in Crouzon syndrome, and the phenotypes
are different.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation (A391E) in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3,
134934.0011);
