Muenke Syndrome, also known as FGFR3-related craniosynostosis.
Muenke syndrome is an inherited condition characterized by the early closure of certain bones of the skull (coronal synostosis), which affects the shape of the head and face. Many people with this disorder have a premature fusion of skull bones along the coronal suture, the growth line which goes over the head from ear to ear. Other parts of the skull may be malformed as well. These changes can result in an abnormally shaped head, wide-set eyes, and flattened cheekbones. Muenke syndrome occurs in about 1 in 30,000 newborns.

Morquio syndrome is a mucopolysaccharide storage disease.
Morquio syndrome is a genetic disease of metabolism in which the body is missing or doesn’t have enough of a substance needed to break down long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans. Lysosomes function as the primary digestive units within cells. Enzymes within lysosomes break down or digest particular nutrients. In individuals with MPS disorders, deficiency or malfunction of specific lysosomal enzymes leads to an abnormal accumulation of certain complex carbohydrates in the arteries, skeleton, eyes, joints, ears, skin, and/or teeth.
