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. The symptoms of Baller–Gerold syndrome overlap with features of other genetic disorders, such as Rothmund–Thomson syndrome and RAPADILINO syndrome. 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. The name of the syndrome comes from the researchers Baller and Gerold who discovered the first three cases.
