A 3-month-old female infant who presented with patent sagittal suture and loss of weight is described. Physical examination revealed a large sagittal and metopic suture showing delayed closure, a high-arched palate, saddle nose, hypertelorism and nonpalpable edges of the bilateral clavicles. The clavicles also showed undue mobility. Radiological investigations of the cranial skeletal abnormalit...

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disease. CCD is caused by mutation in the gene on 6p21 encoding transcription factor CBFA1, i.e. runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2). The disease is characterized by a persistently open anterior fontanelle and skull sutures, hypoplastic or aplastic clavicles, dental abnormalities, short stature, a wide pubic symphysis, a...

The runt-related transcription factor 2 gene (RUNX2), which is also known as CBFA1, is a master regulatory gene in bone formation. Mutations in RUNX2 have been identified in cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) patients. CCD is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia that is characterized by delayed closure of cranial sutures, aplastic or hypoplastic clavicle formation, short stature, and dental ...

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD; OMIM 119600) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, which mainly characterized by persistently open or delayed closure of fontanelle, patent skull sutures, abnormal clavicles, pectus excavatum, short stature, supernumerary teeth, and sinus middle ear infections. It caused Runt-related transcription factor 2 ( RUNX2; 600211 ) mutations. Herein, we present ...

BACKGROUND A family case report of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) with varied manifestations from father to three siblings is presented. CCD ( MIM # 119600) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia caused by CBAF1 gene ( OMIM 600211) with a wide range of variability. In all the cases generalized dysplasia in bone, prolonged retention of primary teeth and delayed eruption of permanent teet...
