The acrocephalosyndactyly syndromes (ACS) comprise of a rare group of disorders collectively characterised by
- calvarial anomalies, e.g. craniosynostoses
- digital anomalies, e.g. syndactyly
Classification
While there can be some overlap in features, they can be primarily classified into the following major types
- type I: Apert syndrome 1
- type II: Apert-Crouzon syndrome 5
- type III: Saethre-Chotzen syndrome 3
-
type IV:
content pending - type V: Pfeiffer syndrome
- others
When there are calvarial anomalies with polydactyly and syndactyly, these then fall into group named acrocephalopolysyndactyly syndromes (ACPS). However, many suggest that the distinction between to ACS and ACPS should be abandoned [ref].
