Pfeiffer Syndrome
Pfeiffer Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FGFR1 or FGFR2 genes. It is characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones, leading to an abnormal head shape. Individuals with this condition may also experience broad, short thumbs and toes, as well as hearing loss and dental issues.
The severity of Pfeiffer Syndrome can vary widely among affected individuals. Some may have mild symptoms, while others may face more significant challenges. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected by this condition.
