Wikimedia needs your help in the final days of its fund drive. See our fundraising page Over US$225,000 has been donated since the drive began on 19 August. Thank you for your generosity! Apert syndrome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Apert Syndrome , virtually synonymous with Acrocephalosyndactyly , is a branchial arch syndrome , characterized by a number of clinical features, resulting from a developmental anomaly. Specifically, this syndrome affects the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, which is the precursor of the maxilla and mandible . Since the branchial arches are important developmental features in a growing embryo , disturbances in its development create lasting and widespread effects. Contents Overview Causes Symptoms Treatments ... edit Overview In Eug¨ne Apert , a French physician, first described nine people with a similar disorder. Since he was the first to do so, his name is associated with the syndrome. Breaking down the name of this disorder, “acro” means “peak” in Greek and refers to the “peaked” hands of some people with this syndrome. Syndactyly refers to the webbing of fingers and toes. What occurs in embryology is that hands and feet are supposed to have some selective cells die (known as selective cell death or apoptosis to separate the fingers and toes. In the case of acrocephalosyndactyly, selective cell death does not occur, and fusion of skin, and sometimes bone, between the fingers and toes occur.

Thank you!!! Thank you for your interest in Apert Syndrome and Apert International, Inc. Apert Syndrome is a rare craniofacial syndrome that affects only 1 in 160,000 individuals. It occurs randomly in all countries, and crosses all racial, ethnic, religious, age, and socioeconomic boundaries. Apert Syndrome results when the DNA from mother and father combine, and a single error occurs during this process. The major symptoms of Apert Syndrome are fingers and toes which are fused together in single masses; plates in the skull that are fused together prematurely; and a variety of facial abnormalities. Other symptoms vary among individuals, and can impact virtually any critical areas such as breathing, heart, kidney, skeletal, neurological, and neuromuscular functions. Children born with Apert Syndrome typically endure dozens of surgeries during their first few years. Apert children seem to be blessed with the strength and character to get through all they must endure, and are usually very happy despite their differences. Modern surgical techniques have been developed that dramatically restore the functionality taken away by Apert syndrome and can also provide for a more normal appearance and heightened self-esteem. Our organization evolved from an Internet site developed by Don and Cathie Sears for their daughter, Elizabeth (Teeter), who has Apert Syndrome. Don and Cathie founded "Teeter's Page" in 1995 (

E-mail Us CF Webring is on the ASLinks Page TJ's visitors count FastCounter by bCentral Update on TJ - 11/25/2000 Well, Taylor's coming upon a year old now, and he's been through quite a lot. This little boy has been the strongest person we've ever known... Read more progress Hi - I'm TJ . My full name is Taylor Jacob Wilson, and I was born on December 15, 1999. I weighed 9.2 lbs. and was 21 inches long. I guess you could say I'm a pretty special baby. You see, I was born with Apert Syndrome . You'd probably think I was very unlucky, but the truth is, I have so much love and help surrounding me from all my family and friends, that I feel very lucky in spite of my disorder. I have a long and serious journey ahead of me. My parents, Mark and Cynthia Wilson, have spent a tremendous amount of time educating themselves and fighting for the right care for me. I spent a good portion of my first month in and out of hospitals learning to eat and breathe (two very important things, my mom said). I have been gaining weight and sleeping a little more. Apert Syndrome is extremely rare. Recent figures show less than 200 cases in the U.S.. It's classified more commonly as a craniofacial disorder, and for me that means lots of operations with the 1st one now complete and the next one in 3 months

72. APERT SYNDROME apert syndrome, first described in 1906 by E. Apert, a French physician, ischaracterized apert syndrome occurs in approximately 1160000 live births. http://www.forwardface.org/misc_text/conditions/aperts.htm

APERT SYNDROME Description Apert Syndrome, first described in 1906 by E. Apert, a French physician, is characterized by malformations (abnormal growth) of the skull and face accompanied by fusion (webbing) of the fingers and toes. The shape of the head appears long and pointed at the top. Wide-set, bulging eyes that tilt down at the sides, a sunken-in looking mid face (middle of eye socket to upper jaw) and dental crowding are often found. Skulls of newborns are comprised of sutures or plates that are loosely connected and eventually join together to form the skull. This fusion (craniosynostosis) can cause increased pressure on the brain as it develops causing the head to grow upwards. Visual problems due to eye muscle imbalance Hearing loss due to frequent infections Severe acne Mild mental retardation Cleft palate Hyperactive sweat glands Prevalence/Causes Apert syndrome occurs in approximately 1:160,000 live births. It is caused by a genetic mutation (change). Neither parent is responsible for this mutation first occurring in a family line.

Synonyms Acrocephalosyndactyly, Type I ACS I Syndactylic Oxycephaly Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Apert syndrome, also known as acrocephalosyndactyly type I (ACS1), is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is primarily characterized by distinctive malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) region and defects of the hands and feet. In some instances, mental retardation may also be present. In infants with Apert syndrome, the fibrous joints between certain bones in the skull (cranial sutures) close prematurely (craniosynostosis), causing the head to appear abnormally pointed at the top (acrocephaly). Affected infants also have characteristic facial abnormalities, such as widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), abnormal protrusion of the eyes (exophthalmos), underdevelopment of midfacial regions (midface hypoplasia), and/or a narrow roof of the mouth (palate). Malformations of the hands and feet may include unusually broad thumbs and great toes, short fingers, and/or partial to complete fusion (syndactyly) of certain fingers and toes (digits). Most commonly, there is complete fusion of bones within the second to the fourth fingers and the presence of a single common nail ("mitten-like" syndactyly).

77. Craniosynostosis Syndromes Children with apert syndrome also have syndactyly (webbing) of the hands and feet . apert syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 100000 births, http://dentistry.ucsf.edu/cranio/craniosynostosis.htm

What is craniosynostosis? Craniosynostosis is a term that refers to the early fusing of one or more of the sutures in the skull during fetal development. The skull is composed of multiple bones that are separated by sutures or openings. If any of these sutures fuse prematurely, the skull will expand in the direction of the open sutures resulting in an abnormal head shape. Premature closure of a single suture can be caused by space constraints in utero. This is seen with twins more often than with a single fetus. Single suture closure is usually not associated with a syndrome and not genetic in nature. Premature closure of multiple sutures, including facial sutures, are seen in individuals with a craniosynostosis syndrome. The most common craniosynostosis syndromes are Crouzon, Pfeiffer and Apert. In these syndromes, several sutures in the head are fused resulting in abnormal skull shapes. Bones in the face also are fused, resulting in a flat midface and protruding eyes. Children with Apert syndrome also have syndactyly (webbing) of the hands and feet.

Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Apert syndrome is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.
