Could you inherit craniosynostosis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Craniosynostosis: Yes you can inherited this disorder. There are now known a number of genes that carry this disorder and it can be passed onto the next generation. What we call the "syndromic" types like Aperts, Crouzons, Sathre Chotzen among others carry a higher risk of passing this along by genetics.
