If you have heard of these syndromes, then we welcome you to explore
this website further! Acrocephalopolysyndactyly Type 2 is a very rare
genetic syndrome affecting newborns, involving the premature fusion of
the sutures of the skull, as well as deformities of the hands and feet.
It is also known as Carpenter Syndrome. It is so rare that little is known
about it. Children born with this syndrome face many surgeries, possible
learning disabilities and mental retardation, and other health problems.
