<b>Background:</b> Apert syndrome is considered as one of the most common craniosynostosis syndromes with a prevalence of 1 in 65,000 individuals, and has a close relationship with point mutations in FGFR2 gene.

The genes related to the pathogenesis of the craniosynostoses itself are those encoding transcription factors, e.g., TWIST1, MSX2, EN1, and ZIC1, and proteins involved in osteogenic proliferation, differentiation, and homeostasis, such as FGFR1, FGFR2, RUNX2, POR, and many others.

Here we examine integration of brain and skull in two mouse models for craniosynostosis: one carrying the FGFR2c C342Y mutation associated with Pfeiffer and Crouzon syndromes and a mouse model carrying the FGFR2 S252W mutation, one of two mutations responsible for two-thirds of Apert syndrome cases.
