The characteristics of individuals with Aperts syndrome have the webbing of fingers and toes, or possibly, a cranial malformation, This webbing is caused by apoptosis, which is selective cell death, causing separation of the digits. With the head it is called cranialsynostosis. Some symptoms of cranialsynostosis is a high and prominent forehead with a flat posterior skull. Due to the premature closing of the coronal sutures, increased cranial pressure can develop as a result of deficient growth.They also have low set ears, shallow bony orbits and broadly spaced eyes.
Recessive, but dominant in some rare cases.
a genetic disease in which the seams between the skull bones, feet, and hands close earlier than normal. this affects the shape of the head, feet, and hands.

Sometimes the person does not have obvious characteristics of Turner syndrome, so they do not get diagnosed as a child. When they become adolescent and do not go through puberty that is what leads the doctor to test the person for Turner syndrome.
As of 1990, 65 patients had been reported in the literature, with no sex or ethnic preference notable. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman-Sheldon_syndrome The population prevalence of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) and number of cases diagnosed is unknown. The reason is partly that FSS really is a spectrum of related distal arthrogryposes. from http://clinmedsurgresone.blogspot.com/
Syndactyly is a characteristic of Apert syndrome, Poland syndrome, Jarcho-Levin syndrome, oral-facial-digital syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, and Edwards syndrome
Apert syndrome is a genetic defect, so that means that the child will have it from conception (it's an autosomal dominant genetic defect, which means that only one parent needs to supply the defective gene in order for the child to be born with it.)
Syndactyly is a characteristic of Apert syndrome, Poland syndrome, Jarcho-Levin syndrome, oral-facial-digital syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, and Edwards syndrome.
Apert Syndrome was first discovered by a French Physician named Eugene Apert in 1906 when he described nine different individuals with common characteristics and attributes.These patients were suffering from acrocephalosyndactyly, wherein the bone or skin between the toes and fingers fuses together because no selective cell death is taking place.
Recessive, but dominant in some rare cases.
Brown-Sequard syndrome is diagnosed based on the patient's medical history and a physical examination
Eugène Apert died in 1940.
Eugène Apert was born in 1868.
Yes. There are people who have both Tourette's syndrome and Asperger's Syndrome. Depending on the severity of each, sometimes Tourette's syndrome will be diagnosed before Asperger's Syndrome. Both conditions have echolalia as a possible symptom, so if it is diagnosed as an element of Tourette's syndrome, it might not be considered as a symptom of another condition, which could delay diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. However, Asperger's Syndrome is diagnosed based on a number of symptoms, so a diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome would probably mask only a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome. Before Asperger's Syndrome became a recognized condition, it was diagnosed as other conditions. It is possible that one of those misdiagnoses could have been Tourette's syndrome.
Tourette's syndrome, which he was diagnosed with at the age of five

When she was a child, Temple Grandin was diagnosed as having autism. If she were being diagnosed today, it would probably be labeled Asperger's Syndrome.
