Normal intelligence in two children with Carpenter syndrome.

J L Frias, A H Felman, A L Rosenbloom

    American Journal of Medical Genetics
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Carpenter syndrome (acrocephalopolysyndactyly type II) is often linked to intellectual disability. However, two patients with this condition demonstrated normal intelligence, challenging previous assumptions.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Developmental Biology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Carpenter syndrome, also known as acrocephalopolysyndactyly type II, is a rare genetic disorder.
    • Previous literature consistently reported an association between Carpenter syndrome and intellectual disability.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of Carpenter syndrome.
    • Both patients presented with normal intelligence, deviating from established clinical observations.

    Findings:

    • The findings suggest that intellectual disability is not an inevitable feature of Carpenter syndrome.
    • This challenges the long-held belief of a constant association between the condition and mental deficiency.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical intervention for craniosynostosis in Carpenter syndrome may positively influence cognitive development.
