lüll Diagnostic criteria, clinical characteristics, and natural history of Cohen syndrome Chandler KE; Kidd A; Al-Gazali L; Kolehmainen J; Lehesjoki AE; Black GC; Clayton-Smith JJ Med Genet 2003[Apr]; 40 (4): 233-41Cohen syndrome is a rare, recessively inherited condition associated with facial dysmorphism, developmental delay, and visual disability. A delay in making the diagnosis commonly occurs, contributed to by the lack of a definitive molecular test and the clinical variability of published case reports. A specific clinical phenotype has been delineated in a homogeneous cohort of Finnish Cohen syndrome patients, but the applicability of their diagnostic criteria to non-Finnish patients has been debated. Detailed delineation of Cohen syndrome in patients from outside Finland is therefore warranted. We report on the clinical features of 33 non-Finnish Cohen syndrome patients. Variability within the clinical spectrum is identified and the natural history of Cohen syndrome described. Diagnostic guidelines for facilitating accurate and early diagnosis are discussed.
