NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵² Craniofrontonasal dysplasia is a rare genetic condition with several skeletal defects. Main features of this condition include widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism ), bifid tip of the nose, broad head (brachycephaly), prominent forehead (frontal bossing ), asymmetry of facial features, abnoral form of the eyebrow, and/or crossed eyes (strabismus ). Other described features include narrow sloping shoulders, malformed bone of the center of the chest (sternum), malformation of the collarbone (clavicle); backward curvature of the spine (lordosis ); and/or abnormal lateral curvature of the spine (scoliosis ). Several problems leading to asymmetry of the sides of the body have being described, such as asymmetric lengths of the legs or arms, asymmetric breasts, one shoulder that is higher than the other (Sprengel defomity ) and absence of the chest wall muscles or bones in one side of the body with abnormally short, webbed fingers on the hand on the same side (Poland syndrome ). Females affected with this condition generally have more symptoms than affected males. Treatment may include surgery to correct the shape of the skull or to adjust the facial features associated with this condition.

MalaCards based summary : Craniofrontonasal Syndrome, also known as craniofrontonasal dysplasia, is related to craniosynostosis and widow's peak, and has symptoms including grooving of nail An important gene associated with Craniofrontonasal Syndrome is EFNB1 (Ephrin B1), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Developmental Biology and Akt Signaling. Affiliated tissues include breast, bone and eye, and related phenotypes are hypertelorism and frontal bossing

Disease Ontology : ¹² A X-linked dominant disease that has material basis in mutation in the EFNB1 gene on chromosome Xq13 and is characterized in hemizygous males by hypertelorism and with greater severity in females by frontonasal dysplasia, craniofacial asymmetry, craniosynostosis, bifid nasal tip, grooved nails, wiry hair, and abnormalities of the thoracic skeleton.

OMIM : ⁵⁶ Craniofrontonasal syndrome is an X-linked developmental disorder that shows paradoxically greater severity in heterozygous females than in hemizygous males. Females have frontonasal dysplasia, craniofacial asymmetry, craniosynostosis, bifid nasal tip, grooved nails, wiry hair, and abnormalities of the thoracic skeleton, whereas males typically show only hypertelorism (Twigg et al., 2004; Wieland et al., 2004).

KEGG : ³⁶ Craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS) is an X-linked disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations of EFNB1. CFNS is characterized by body asymmetry, midline defects, skeletal abnormalities, and dermatological abnormalities. It is a very peculiar X-linked syndrome because females are affected whereas male carriers show no or only mild abnormalities.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷³ Craniofrontonasal syndrome: X-linked inherited syndrome characterized by hypertelorism, coronal synostosis with brachycephaly, downslanting palpebral fissures, clefting of the nasal tip, joint anomalies, longitudinally grooved fingernails and other digital anomalies.
