CB, cranial base; CV, cranial vault; FACE, facial skeleton; UCLP, unilateral cleft lip and palate; ISS, isolated sagittal craniosynostosis.

The number in each cell represents the absolute value of the average correlation coefficient among linear distance pairs within each of the modules and between modules. Analysis of the post-op ISS sample is limited to CB.
