Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Coffin-Lowry syndrome is a rare X-linked genetic disorder.
  • It is characterized by intellectual disability, distinct facial features, and skeletal abnormalities.
  • The syndrome may be underdiagnosed, particularly in certain geographic regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To increase awareness and knowledge of Coffin-Lowry syndrome.
  • To contribute to a better understanding of the disease's clinical presentation.
  • To highlight potential diagnostic challenges and methods.

Main Methods:

  • This study utilized a case report methodology.
  • Detailed clinical observations of a patient with Coffin-Lowry syndrome were recorded.
  • Radiographic examination of the hands was performed.

Main Results:

  • The case report describes the specific clinical manifestations observed in the patient.
  • Key features included typical facial morphology, dental and skeletal anomalies, and cognitive impairment.
  • Radiographic findings of the hands were consistent with the syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Coffin-Lowry syndrome is likely underdiagnosed in Brazil.
  • The combination of characteristic facies, dental-skeletal anomalies, and mental retardation are key diagnostic indicators.
  • Clinical diagnosis can be supported and potentially confirmed through radiographic assessment of hand abnormalities.
