Abstract excerpt
Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare, multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation syndrome characterized by varied clinical signs including facial dysmorphism, pre- and post-natal growth defects, small hands and malformations of the upper limbs. Established genetic causes include mutations in the NIPBL (50-60%), SMC1L1 and SMC3 (5%) genes. To detect chromosomal rearrangements pointing to novel...
