TCF12 mutations have been reported very recently in coronal synostosis. We report several cases of familial coronal synostosis among four families harbouring novel TCF12 mutations. We observed a broad interfamilial phenotypic spectrum with features overlapping with the Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. TCF12 molecular testing should be considered in patients with unilateral- or bilateral-coronal synostosis associated or not with syndactyly, after having excluded mutations in the TWIST1 gene and the p.Pro250Arg mutation in FGFR3.
最近有报道称TCF12突变与冠状缝早闭有关。我们报告了四个携带新型TCF12突变的家族中的几例家族性冠状缝早闭病例。我们观察到广泛的家族间表型谱，其特征与塞特雷-乔岑综合征重叠。在排除TWIST1基因的突变和FGFR3基因中的p.Pro250Arg突变后，对于伴有或不伴有并指的单侧或双侧冠状缝早闭患者，应考虑进行TCF12分子检测。
