By describing 10 new patients recruited in centres for Human Genetics, we further delineate the clinical spectrum of a Crouzon‐like craniosynostosis disorder, officially termed craniosynostosis and dental anomalies (MIM614188). Singularly, it is inherited according to an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. We identified six missense mutations in IL11RA, a gene encoding the alpha subunit of interleukin 11 receptor, 4 of them being novel, including 2 in the Ig‐like C2‐type domain. A subset of patients had an associated connective tissue disorder with joint hypermobility and intervertebral discs fragility. A smaller number of teeth anomalies than that previously reported in the two large series of patients evaluated in dental institutes points toward an ascertainment bias.
