摘要
Craniosynostosis is a rare disease in which one or more of the cranial sutures in an infant skull prematurely fuses by turning into bone,with a prevalence of 1 in 2,000—2,500 individuals from reports in Western countries(Wilkie et al.,2017).It may restrict the growth of the brain,leading to some degree of morphological and functional abnormalities,and may affect the neurocognitive function of infants(Lattanzi et al.,2017).Genetic variants underlying craniosynostosis have been identified in cohort studies in Western populations.
