Chromosome rearrangements in Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS): Report of a der(3)t(3;12)(p25.3;p13.3) in two half sibs with features of CdLS and review of reported CdLS cases with chromosome rearrangements

Genetic heterogeneity in Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) and CdLS-like phenotypes with observed and predicted levels of mosaicism

BACKGROUND Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a multisystem disorder with distinctive facial appearance, intellectual disability and growth failure as prominent features. Most individuals with typical CdLS have de novo heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in NIPBL with mosaic individuals representing a significant proportion. Mutations in other cohesin components, SMC1A, SMC3, HDAC8 and RA...

Chromosome 13q deletion with Cornelia de Lange syndrome phenotype.

A 3-year-old girl with facial dysmorphic features suggestive of Cornelia de Lange syndrome was seen in the ophthalmology unit for a right leukocoria. The leukocoria was found to be caused by a large retinoblastoma and the right eye was enucleated. Chromosomal analysis revealed partial chromosome 13q deletion involving band 14 which is associated with a high risk of retinoblastoma. This case sho...
