Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a multisystem developmental disorder characterized by facial dysmorphisms, upper limb abnormalities, growth delay and cognitive retardation. Mutations in the NIPBL gene, a component of the cohesin complex, account for approximately half of the affected individuals. We report here that mutations in SMC1L1 (also known as SMC1), which encodes a different subunit of the cohesin complex, are responsible for CdLS in three male members of an affected family and in one sporadic case.
科妮莉亚·德朗热综合征是一种多系统发育障碍,其特征为面部畸形、上肢异常、生长发育迟缓及认知障碍。黏连蛋白复合体的一个组成部分NIPBL基因突变导致了约半数患者发病。我们在此报告,编码黏连蛋白复合体另一个亚基的SMC1L1(也称为SMC1)基因突变,是一个患病家族的三名男性成员及一例散发病例患科妮莉亚·德朗热综合征的病因。
