The International Craniosynostosis Consortium (ICC) includes physicians and scientists with special expertise and interests in craniosynostosis. The ICC web site and databases are hosted on a secure server at the University of California, Davis and are maintained under Dr. Simeon Boyd’s approved IRB protocol. Our goal is to enroll and characterize as many affected families as possible in order to create clinical databases and sample repositories that will allow us to better understand and prevent craniosynostosis. We encourage both medical professionals and patients to contact us in order to contribute to our mission and to receive information about craniosynostosis. The ICC is supported through a NIH-NIDCR research grant R01 DE016886 to Dr. Simeon Boyd. The study sites are leased below:
