Craniosynostosis-anal anomalies-porokeratosis syndrome, also known as CAP syndrome, is a skin condition, or genodermatosis, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, whose three-part name reflects malformations affecting the skull sutures, the anal region and the skin. The published record on the condition is limited to a brief clinical description, so beyond its classification as an autosomal recessive genodermatosis affecting the cranium, anus and skin, its detailed clinical course, diagnostic criteria and treatment are not established here; this is the honest state of a thin source rather than a padded description, and is named as a gap for a future depth pass.
