Background Especially in the first 6 months of life, skull deformities manifesting as a uni-or
bilateral flattening of the occiput often give rise to questions of differential diagnosis and …

The cranial vault in humans is highly variable, clinically relevant, and heritable, yet its
genetic architecture remains poorly understood. Here, we conduct a joint multi-ancestry and …

Introduction: Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is cranial flattening on one side of the back
of the skull produced by an extrinsic force on the intrinsically normal skull. When the …
