Additional Information:

Diagnosis GeneReviews Diagnosis of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is made on a clinical basis. The most important clinical signs of CdLS are the following [Kline et al 2007a]: ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Although CdLS was formally characterized over 70 years ago and well delineated clinically [Ptacek et al 1963, Motl & Opitz 1971, Jackson et al 1993], the natural history of CdLS has only been studied recently [Kline et al 2007a]. ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Whereas individuals with classic findings of CdLS, including characteristic facial features and limb anomalies, are likely to have a mutation in NIPBL, NIPBL mutations have been found in individuals with both mild and severe phenotypes. NIPBL mutations are evenly distributed throughout the coding sequence. Individuals with missense NIBPL mutations typically have milder disease. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Several conditions demonstrate overlap of clinical features with CdLS:...
Management GeneReviews The following recommendations for evaluation of individuals diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) are based on recent guidelines [Kline et al 2007b (click Image guidelines.jpg for full text)] and the authors' experience:...
