Second case of Beare-Stevenson syndrome with an FGFR2 Ser372Cys mutation

Am J Med Genet A. 2008 Mar 1;146A(5):658-60. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.a.32176.

Abstract

Beare-Stevenson syndrome is characterized by cutis gyrata, acanthosis nigricans, skin furrows, skin tags, craniosynostosis, Crouzonoid-like features in some cases and cloverleaf skull in others, anogenital anomalies, and prominent umbilical stump. Reported causes are an FGFR2 Tyr375Cys mutation in nine cases and an FGFR2 Ser372Cys mutation in one case. Here, we report on a second patient with the FGFR2 Ser372Cys mutation.
