Description : The Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CDLS) is a multisystem malformation syndrome recognized
primarily on the basis of characteristic facial dysmorphism, including low anterior
hairline, arched eyebrows, synophrys, anteverted nares, maxillary prognathism, long
philtrum, thin lips, and 'carp' mouth, in association with prenatal and postnatal
growth retardation, mental retardation and, in many cases, upper limb anomalies. However,
there is wide clinical variability in this disorder, with milder phenotypes that may
be difficult to ascertain on the basis of physical features (summary by Rohatgi et
al., 2010). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome About 50 to 60%
of the cases of CDLS are due to mutation in the NIPBL gene (Musio et al., 2006; Rohatgi
et al., 2010). One X-linked form of CDLS (CDLS2; 300590) is caused by mutation in
the SMC1A gene (300040), which accounts for about 5% of cases. Two milder variants
of Cornelia de Lange syndrome have been identified: CDLS3 (610759), caused by mutation
in the SMC3 gene (606062), and CDLS4 (614701), caused by mutation in the RAD21 gene
(606462). All 4 genes,;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the Nipped-B-like gene (NIPBL, 608667.0001);
