- 4= lateral incisior, medial to IOF
- 5- premolar, lateral to IOF
- 6,7,8 - treacher collins
- 7- macrostomia
- 8- lateral canthus
- 9,10,11 - upper orbit and eyelid
- 12,13,14 - medial to upper obit
- 0,14 - fronto nasal dysplasia

How does HPC/FND differ from craniofrontonasodysplasia?
CFND is Xlinked (not soradic) and associated with craniosynostosis
