acrocephalosyndactyly

Acrocephalosyndactyly (ACS) syndromes are a group of inherited congenital disorders. These conditions are marked by the early fusion of skull bones (craniosynostosis) and by fusion or webbing of the fingers or toes. The changes in skull and limb development are present from birth and can differ in each case. People with this condition may experience additional physical differences, though the main features remain the abnormal skull formation and syndactyly. As a group, acrocephalosyndactyly syndromes highlight the variability in birth defects that are inherited and affect formation during development.

Common signs include premature fusion of the skull bones (craniosynostosis) and fusion or webbing of the fingers and toes. Other associated physical manifestations might also be present, though detailed descriptions are not provided in the available information.

Acrocephalosyndactyly is an inherited condition. It is caused by genetic factors that affect development before birth, leading to the abnormal formation of the skull and limbs. Specific genes or genetic mutations have not been identified in the available sources.
