Thank you for supporting Apert International! Checks mailed to our PO Box also gratefully accepted. Thank you for your interest in Apert Syndrome and Apert International, Inc. Apert Syndrome is a rare craniofacial syndrome that affects only 1 in 160,000 individuals. It occurs randomly in all countries, and crosses all racial, ethnic, religious, age, and socioeconomic boundaries. Apert Syndrome results when the DNA from mother and father combine, and a single error occurs during this process. The major symptoms of Apert Syndrome are fingers and toes which are fused together in single masses; plates in the skull that are fused together prematurely; and a variety of facial abnormalities. Other symptoms vary among individuals, and can impact virtually any critical areas such as breathing, heart, kidney, skeletal, neurological, and neuromuscular functions. Children born with Apert Syndrome typically endure dozens of surgeries during their first few years.
