Children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome have a particular facial appearance and often look like brothers and sisters. They are small at birth and remain small compared to children of the same age. The ability to learn is delayed in children but this varies from mild to severe. Almost all have limb abnormalities which range from small arms to complete absence of the forearms. Feeding and bowel problems, particularly gastro-oesophageal reflux, are also present. In almost all cases the children will have an unusual marbled appearance to the skin on their arms and legs, particularly when they are cold. Some of the children will have psychological and behavioural problems including autistic-like features and self-injury. Other problems including heart problems may also be present. Inheritance patterns The cause of Cornelia de Lange syndrome is not known although it is almost certainly due to a genetic fault. It is rare for this condition to occur twice in the same family.

If my child has CdLS, what can I expect? What is a Syndrome? "Syndrome" is a medical term for a condition in which there is a collection of signs (observable body changes) and symptoms (problems observed by the patient) recognizable by a doctor's exam. Individuals with a syndrome may not have all of its associated signs and symptoms, but they must have enough to be considered "diagnostic." Conversely, because someone may display some of the signs and symptoms of a syndrome, does not necessarily mean they have it. Top of Page How is CdLS recognized? CdLS is a congenital syndrome, meaning it is present from birth. Most of the signs and symptoms may be recognized at birth or shortly thereafter. A child need not demonstrate each and every sign or symptom for the diagnosis to be made. As with other syndromes, individuals with CdLS strongly resemble one another. Common characteristics include: low birthweight (often under five pounds), slow growth and small stature, and small head size (microcephaly). Typical facial features include thin eyebrows which frequently meet at midline (synophrys), long eyelashes, short upturned nose and thin, downturned lips. Other frequent findings include excessive body hair (hirsutism), small hands and feet, partial joining of the second and third toes, incurved fifth fingers, gastroesophageal reflux, seizures, heart defects, cleft palate, bowel abnormalities, feeding difficulties, and developmental delay. Limb differences, including missing limbs or portions of limbs, usually fingers, hands or forearms, are also found in some individuals.

Disorder Zone Archives Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Madalyn Gilchrist Ketchel Clements Introduction Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a disorder that results in several physical and developmental abnormalities. The cause of CdLS is unknown at this time, however, it is thought that the disorder may be of a genetic nature (possibly a faulty gene on chromosome 3). Most cases are sporadic, however, there has been documentation of affected siblings, which would suggest inheritance. It is said to occur in 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 30,000 live births and is found equally in males and females. Although this syndrome is considered rare, experts agree that it is likely underdiagnosed. CdLS was first described in 1916 by Dr. W. Brachmann and was later identified again by Dr. Cornelia de Lange, a Dutch pediatrician, in 1933. Both physicians described children with common symptoms and characteristics (as shown below). Features and Characteristics There are several physical and developmental characteristics that are associated with CdLS, however, not every individual has all the characteristics. The following is a list of the most common traits: Low birth weight (usually under 5 pounds) Delayed growth and small stature Developmental delay Limb differences (sometimes missing limbs or portions of limbs) Small head size (microcephaly) Thin eyebrows which typically meet at midline Long eyelashes Short upturned nose and thin downturned lips Long philtrum Excessive body hair

For Health Consumers For Health Professionals Find a Clinic Find a Doctor ... Employment Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Cornelia de Lange Syndrome is also sometimes referred to as CdLs for short or Brachman-de Lange Syndrome. What does Cornelia de Lange Syndrome mean for a child? Cornelia de Lange Syndrome is diagnosed by clinical features. Children with this Syndrome often have long eyelashes, bushy eyebrows and synophrys (joined eyebrows). Their hairline may be lower than other family members, and they may have more body hair. These features are often less obvious in males after puberty. Children are often shorter than others in the family. None of these features may cause a problem for the person concerned; they are just clues for a diagnosis. Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, however, is associated with other features that can cause problems. Children with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome do not necessarily have all of these problems and the severity of the problems does vary. Children with CdLs may have gastrointestinal tract difficulties. These can include vomiting, intermittent poor appetite, constipation, diarrhea or gaseous distention. The gastrointestinal symptoms range from mild to severe.
