What is Cornelia de Lange Syndrome?

Cornelia de Lange Syndrome also known as CDLS, is a little known and rare genetic disorder resulting in severe developmental abnormalities.

: CDLS Quick Facts :

  • CDLS is a genetic syndrome present from birth. There is no cure.
  • CDLS occurs in approximately 1 in 10,000 live births. It affects males and females equally, and is seen in all races.
  • The severity of CDLS ranges from mild to severe, but all individuals with CDLS share similar characteristics, such as small stature, hands, feet, and head; joined eyebrows; long eyelashes; upturned nose; and thin, down-turned lips. Physical and cognitive development is delayed. Self-injurious behavior is common, and between 60-70% display some degree of autism spectrum disorder. Speech and language are delayed or absent. Limb differences and/or missing limbs occur in 25% of cases. Common medical problems include gastroesophageal reflux disease, bowel abnormalities, heart defects, seizures, and cleft palate.
  • Since 2004, changes in three different genes have been identified as causing CDLS. These genes are NIPBL on chromosome 5; SMC1A on the X chromosome; and SMC3 on chromosome 10. Changes in the latter two genes seem to correlate with a milder form of the syndrome.
  • In 99% of cases, the gene change that causes CDLS is sporadic, not inherited, which means the change occurs randomly during conception.
  • Researchers estimate there are 20,000 individuals in the U.S. who have CDLS but live without diagnosis and/or support services.

Why did I post this?
As the grandparent of a child with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, I hope to raise awareness of this rare disorder and in turn, bring much needed support to the affected families.
