Insights
Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder causing developmental issues. Early diagnosis and management of CdLS symptoms are crucial for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Pediatrics
- Developmental Biology
Background:
- Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities and malformations affecting multiple organ systems.
- Understanding the clinical spectrum and outcomes of CdLS is essential for effective patient management.
Observation:
- A retrospective study of six children diagnosed with CdLS between 2013 and 2015 was conducted.
- Commonly observed features included developmental retardation, recurrent respiratory infections, feeding difficulties, and characteristic facial anomalies such as synophrys and low hairline.
Findings:
- All studied children presented with developmental retardation and distinct facial features.
- Recurrent respiratory tract infections and feeding difficulties were prevalent among the cases.
Implications:
- CdLS is a multisystem disorder necessitating interdisciplinary care.
- Prompt diagnosis and management of associated conditions are vital for improving outcomes in children with CdLS.
Abstract:
Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a rare genetic condition with developmental disorder and malformation affecting multiple systems. To describe the clinical and laboratory details and outcome of the children diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange syndrome, we retrospectively studied six cases who presented to our hospital between the years 2013 and 2015. Almost all had developmental retardation, with recurrent respiratory tract infections, and feeding difficulties. Synophrys with long curly eyelashes with low anterior and posterior hairline was present in all the children. Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a multisystem developmental disorder requiring interdisciplinary management. Symptomatic treatment generally given as therapy is very difficult. Early diagnosis and prompt management of associated disorder are useful for effective outcome of the disease.
