Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal dystrophy caused by the loss of photoreceptors and pigment epithelial atrophy, leading to severe visual impairment or blindness. RP can be classified as nonsyndromic syndromic with complex clinical phenotypes. Three unrelated Polish probands affected retinitis coexisting cerebellar ataxia were recruited for this study. Clinical heterogeneity delayed appearance typical disease symptoms significantly prolonged patients’ diagnostic process....

Abstract Objective Craniosynostosis (CS) is the premature fusion of cranial sutures, occurring either in isolated or syndromic form. Syndromic CS, which was described over 180 genetic syndromes, accounts for 15–30% all CS cases and usually originates from mutations within FGFR1 , FGFR2 FGFR3 TWIST1 genes. However, causative alterations other genes, rarely copy number variations (CNVs) were also reported. In this article, we describe a patient with Noonan‐like facial dysmorphism accompanied...
