Article Synopsis
- Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder marked by a variety of symptoms including growth delays, upper limb issues, and other systemic problems, primarily caused by mutations in specific genes associated with the cohesin complex.
- The majority of CdLS cases (over 60%) are linked to mutations in the NIPBL gene, which leads to the most severe form of the syndrome; other cohesin gene mutations typically result in milder symptoms.
- The study analyzed the genetic factors in 716 individuals with CdLS to better understand the contributions of cohesin complex genes and identify potential new candidate genes, improving knowledge of genetic variations and their effects on CdLS manifestations.
