A Condition Clinically Similar to the Cornelia de Lange Syndrome

Leonard J. Sciorra, PhD; Kyu Bahng, MS; Ming-liang Lee, MD, PhD

Am J Dis Child. 1979;133(7):727-730.

Abstract
• A patient had a trisomy for the distal portion of the third chromosome. The major clinical features were failure to thrive, profound mental retardation, dysmorphic head shape, a short nose, anteverted nares, long eyelashes, synophrys, characteristic mouth, and short stature. The similarities between the clinical picture and the Cornelia de Lange syndrome are very striking.
