OMIM : ⁵⁷ Pfeiffer syndrome is an autosomal dominant craniosynostosis syndrome with characteristic anomalies of the hands and feet. Three clinical subtypes, which have important diagnostic and prognostic implications, have been identified. Type 1, the classic syndrome, is compatible with life and consists of craniosynostosis, midface deficiency, broad thumbs, broad great toes, brachydactyly, and variable syndactyly. Type 2 consists of cloverleaf skull with Pfeiffer hands and feet, together with ankylosis of the elbows. Type 3 is similar to type 2 but without cloverleaf skull. Ocular proptosis is severe, and the anterior cranial base is markedly short. Various visceral malformations have been found in association with type 3. Early demise is characteristic of types 2 and 3 (Cohen, 1993). Cohen and Barone (1994) further tabulated the findings in the 3 types of Pfeiffer syndrome. (101600)

MalaCards based summary : Pfeiffer Syndrome, also known as infectious mononucleosis, is related to crouzon syndrome and craniosynostosis, and has symptoms including fever and pruritus. An important gene associated with Pfeiffer Syndrome is FGFR2 (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Innate Immune System and ERK Signaling. The drugs Docetaxel and Antimitotic Agents have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone, t cells and testes, and related phenotypes are malar flattening and hypertelorism

Disease Ontology : ¹² An acrocephalosyndactylia that has material basis in mutations in the FGFR1 and FGFR2 gene which results in premature fusion located in skull.

Genetics Home Reference : ²⁵ Pfeiffer syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones (craniosynostosis). This early fusion prevents the skull from growing normally and affects the shape of the head and face. Pfeiffer syndrome also affects bones in the hands and feet.

NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵³ Pfeiffer syndrome is a disorder that affects the development of the bones in the skull, hands and feet. Signs and symptoms can include craniosynostosis, which prevents normal skull growth and affects the shape of the head and face; distinctive facial features including bulging and wide-set eyes, a high forehead, an underdeveloped upper jaw, and a beaked nose; hearing loss; and dental problems. Other features may include broad and deviated thumbs and great toes; brachydactyly; and syndactyly. It is caused by mutations in the FGFR1 or FGFR2 genes and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Pfeiffer syndrome is divided into 3 subtypes (type 1, type 2 and type 3) based on the presence and severity of specific features. Management typically includes various surgical interventions.

MedlinePlus : ⁴³ Infectious mononucleosis, or "mono", is an infection usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. The virus spreads through saliva, which is why it's sometimes called "kissing disease." Mono occurs most often in teens and young adults. However, you can get it at any age. Symptoms of mono include Fever Sore throat Swollen lymph glands Sometimes you may also have a swollen spleen. Serious problems are rare. A blood test can show if you have mono. Most people get better in two to four weeks. However, you may feel tired for a few months afterward. Treatment focuses on helping symptoms and includes medicines for pain and fever, warm salt water gargles and plenty of rest and fluids.

CDC : ³ Bromobenzylcyanide (CA), Chloroacetophenone (CN), Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS), Chloropicrin (PS), Dibenzoxazepine (CR)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁵ Pfeiffer syndrome: A syndrome characterized by the association of craniosynostosis, broad and deviated thumbs and big toes, and partial syndactyly of the fingers and toes. Three subtypes are known: mild autosomal dominant form (type 1); cloverleaf skull, elbow ankylosis, early death, sporadic (type 2); craniosynostosis, early demise, sporadic (type 3).
