Craniosynostosis-fibular aplasia syndrome (also known as craniosynostosis with fibular aplasia or Lowry syndrome) is a rare syndrome characterized by bicoronal craniosynostosis, absent fibula, cryptorchidism, and bilateral simian creases.
Coffin–Lowry syndrome is an X-linked disorder resulting from loss-of-function mutations in the RPS6KA3 gene, which encodes RSK2 (ribosomal S6 kinase 2).Multiple mutations have been identified in RPS6KA3 that can give rise to the disorder, including missense mutations, nonsense mutations, insertions and deletions.
A large-scale screen of the Drosophila genome for mutants that exhibited axon guidance defects led to the discovery of the roundabout (robo) mutation. [9] In robo mutants, axons were observed to inappropriately cross and recross the midline. It was subsequently found that the secreted protein Slit was the ligand for the Roundabout receptor. [10]

This gene is a homeobox-containing gene expressed during development. The expressed protein contains two conserved domains, a C-peptide (or aristaless domain) and the prd-like class homeobox domain. It is a member of the group-II aristaless-related protein family whose members are expressed primarily in the central and/or peripheral nervous system.
An eponymous disease is a disease, disorder, condition, or syndrome named after a person, usually the physician or other health care professional who first identified the disease; less commonly, a patient who had the disease; rarely, a literary character who exhibited signs of the disease or an actor or subject of an allusion, as characteristics associated with them were suggestive of symptoms ...
This syndrome is most commonly diagnosed when the two or more individuals of concern live in proximity, may be socially or physically isolated, and have little interaction with other people. Various sub-classifications of folie à deux have been proposed to describe how the delusional belief comes to be held by more than one person: [8] Folie ...
Lowry-Wood syndrome, also simply known as LWS, is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by dysplasia of the epiphysis, low height/short stature, microcephaly, developmental delay, intellectual disabilities, and congenital nystagmus. Less common (but not rare) features include coxa vara and retinitis pigmentosa. Only 10 cases of ...
