Baller–Gerold syndrome (BGS) is a rare genetic syndrome that involves premature fusion of the skull bones and malformations of facial, forearm and hand bones.[1] The symptoms of Baller–Gerold syndrome overlap with features of a few other genetics disorders: Rothmund–Thomson syndrome and RAPADILINO syndrome.[1] The prevalence of BGS is unknown, as there have only been a few reported cases, but it is estimated to be less than 1 in a million.[1] The name of the syndrome comes from the researchers Baller and Gerold who discovered the first three cases.[2]
