A craniosynostosis characterized by skull deformity and the inability of the skull's growth to keep up with the developing brain that has_material_basis_in a weakly penetrant heterozygous mutation in the SMAD6 gene on chromosome 15q22, typically with the risk allele of a common variant near the BMP2 gene on chromosome 20p12, resulting in potential intracranial pressure elevation.
