How did the Jackson-Weiss Syndrome get its name?

Jackson-Weiss Syndrome is named after the researchers who first identified and described the condition, Drs. Robert Jackson and Jill Weiss, in the 1970s. The syndrome is characterized by craniOSynostosis, facial dysmorphism, and foot abnormalities. Their work helped establish the genetic basis and clinical features of the syndrome, leading to its naming in honor of their contributions to understanding this rare genetic disorder.
