Beare–Stevenson syndrome is characterized by cutis gyrata, acanthosis nigricans, skin
furrows, skin tags, craniosynostosis, Crouzonoid‐like features in some cases and cloverleaf
skull in others, anogenital anomalies, and prominent umbilical stump. Reported causes are
an FGFR2 Tyr375Cys mutation in nine cases and an FGFR2 Ser372Cys mutation in one
case. Here, we report on a second patient with the FGFR2 Ser372Cys mutation.© 2008
