UK and US teams independently pinpointed a gene for Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), ending a 15-year search.[1,2]
Tests for the disorder may be forthcoming. CdLS occurs in 1 in 30,000–40,000 births, causing debilitating growth problems and deformities as well as behavioral difficulties. Misdiagnoses can result in patients succumbing to potentially fatal problems such as twisted bowel.
