Abstract
Pfeiffer syndrome is one of the autosomal dominant craniofacial syndromes. Classical clinical manifestations are coronal suture synostosis causing brachycephaly, midface retrusion, airway compromise, broad thumbs, and toes. Pfeiffer syndrome type I (classic type) is associated with FGFR1 mutation. However, wide range of clinical manifestations, with and without craniosynostosis, have been reported. Here, we present a family of Pfeiffer syndrome across 3 generations with identical FGFR1: c.755C>G (p.Pro252Arg) mutation. Where the members of the youngest generation have no cranial involvement. Lastly, we propose a guideline management for familial Pfeiffer syndrome management.
