title: Craniofrontonasal syndrome: study of 41 patients.
abstract: Of 41 patients with craniofrontonasal syndrome, 35 were female and 6 were male. Although most cases were sporadic, 7 familial instances were found. Craniofrontonasal syndrome represents a unique, incompletely understood X-linked disorder. Unusual manifestations in females included thick, wiry, and curly hair (49%), anterior cranium bifidum (6%), axillary pterygia (9%), unilateral breast hypoplasia (postpubertal; 11%), and asymmetric lower limb shortness (14%).
