Mondo Description Muenke syndrome is a syndromic craniosynostosis with significant phenotypic variability, usually characterized by coronal synostosis, midfacial retrusion, strabismus, hearing loss and developmental delay.
Uniprot Description A condition characterized by premature closure of coronal suture of skull during development (coronal craniosynostosis), which affects the shape of the head and face. It may be uni- or bilateral. When bilateral, it is characterized by a skull with a small antero-posterior diameter (brachycephaly), often with a decrease in the depth of the orbits and hypoplasia of the maxillae. Unilateral closure of the coronal sutures leads to flattening of the orbit on the involved side (plagiocephaly). The intellect is normal. In addition to coronal craniosynostosis some affected individuals show skeletal abnormalities of hands and feet, sensorineural hearing loss, mental retardation and respiratory insufficiency.
Disease Ontology Description A craniosyntosis characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, uni- or bicoronal synostosis, macrocephaly, midfacial hypoplasia, and developmental delay that has_material_basis_in a pro250 to agr (P250R) heterozygous mutation in the FGFR3 gene on chromosome 4p16.3.
