Extractions: Coffin-Lowry syndrome Incidence/prevalence Unknown Genetics Genetic linkage studies have mapped the CLS locus to Xp22.2 (Biancalana et al. 1992), and subsequent analysis has found mutations in the gene for pp90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK-2), a growth factor regulated protein kinase that regulates gene transcription (Trivier et al. 1996). One such pathway from RSK-2 to gene transcription is through the activation of cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB); CREB has been discovered to be an important nuclear mediator of long term memory, and a linear relationship has been found between RSK-2 mediated CREBtide phosphorylation and IQ in a small sample of patients with CLS (Harum et al. 2001). Physical features There is a characteristic dysmorphology that includes down-slanting palpebral fissures, large mouth with patulous lips, ante-verted nostrils and tapering digits (Gorlin et al. 1990). Pectus carinatum or excavatum found in 80% of hemizygotes and in 30% of heterozygotes is associated with thoracolumbar kyphosis/scoliosis. Various heart malformations have been described. Female hererozygotes show variable clinical manifestations. Life expectancy There are no available data on life expectancy.

But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion... This, then, is my true religion, my simple faith. In this sense, there is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are: ultimately these are all we need. So long as we practice these in our daily lives, then no matter if we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in Buddha or God, or follow some other religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy."

Extractions: Summary : We present a patient with a complete Coffin-Lowry syndrome, associated with drop episodes precipitated by sudden auditory stimuli, which provoked in turn, a definite loss of muscle tone in both legs. Electrophysiological studies showed that these episodes are an unusual type of startle response and that they may be associated with Coffin-Lowry syndrome.

In a paper published in the April 30 issue of Cell , scientists follow the path of missteps in this rare disease, from the gene that is mutated in people, to an intermediate protein that should be activated, to the failure of the bone-forming cells called osteoblasts to do their job. Karsenty and his colleagues discovered that one of the proteins activated by is called . They conducted a series of experiments in cell cultures and in mice to examine the effect of and on bone formation. Like patients with Coffin-Lowry Syndrome, mice lacking
Extractions: References The Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is a syndromic form of X-linked mental retardation that was initially and independently described by Coffin et al. [1966] and Lowry et al. [1971] and definitively distinguished by Tentamy et al. The diagnosis is based on clinical examination (see Gilgenkrantz et al. , 1988, Young, 1988). In adult male patients, the disease has a well-defined phenotype and in most cases it can be diagnosed by professionals trained in genetic disorders. Characteristic features are psychomotor retardation, typical facial dysmorphism and progressive skeletal deformations. Large, soft hands with lax skin and tapering fingers, is usually a strong diagnostic feature. However, the clinical presentation of CLS may vary markedly variable in both severity and the expression of uncommonly associated features, occasionally leading to diagnostic difficulties. In addition, the physical characteristics are usually very mild during infancy and CLS may be confused with other syndromes. In most cases mutation analysis is essential to confirm the diagnosis. In young male patients in particular, the mild physical features of CLS may lead to the diagnosis of other syndromes, most notably alpha-thalassemia with mental retardation syndrome (ATR-X, MIM # 300032), but also to the diagnosis of fragile X syndrome (MIM 309550), Sotos syndrome (MIM # 117550), Williams syndrome (MIM # 194050) and lysosomal storage disease (Plomp
