Epilepsy in Coffin-Siris syndrome: A report from the international CSS registry and review of the literature.

Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS, MIM135900) is a rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome caused by pathogenic variants in the BAF complex; up to 28% of patients have previously been reported to have seizures, however, a comprehensive review of epilepsy has not been undertaken in this population. The International CSS Patient Report Database was queried for patients with self-reported seizures, epilepsy, and EEG results. Data gathered included demographic data, pathogenic gene variants, seizure characteristics and treatments, and EEG findings.

Language Impairments in Individuals With Coffin-Siris Syndrome.

Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS, MIM 135900) is a now well-described, multiple congenital anomaly/intellectual disability syndrome classically characterized by fifth digit/nail hypoplasia, coarse facial features, and a range of organ-system related anomalies. Since its initial description in 1970, and the discovery of associated genes in 2011, CSS now encompasses a wide range of phenotypes and abilities caused by pathogenic variants in the BAF complex (often referred to as "BAFopathy"). It appears that the BAF complex leads to speech and language impairments in this population, and subsequently we have reviewed individuals in the CSS/BAF registry to understand the prevalence and degree of this particular learning difference.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in 208 Individuals with Coffin-Siris Syndrome.

Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS, MIM 135900) is a multi-system intellectual disability syndrome characterized by classic dysmorphic features, developmental delays, and organ system anomalies. Genes in the BRG1(BRM)-associated factors (BAF, Brahma associated factor) complex have been shown to be causative, including , , , , , , , , , and . In order to describe more robust genotype-phenotype correlations, we collected data from 208 individuals from the CSS/BAF complex registry with pathogenic variants in seven of these genes.
