Cornelia de Lange is a condition that affects many different parts of the body with varying symptoms. This syndrome is characterized by slow growth before and after birth leading to short stature, intellectual disability, and abnormalities of bones in the arms, hands, and fingers. Individuals with Cornelia de Lange may also have distinctive facial features, including arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, low set ears, small and widely spaced teeth, and an upturned nose. The prevalence is estimated to be 1 in 10,000-30,000 individuals and can result from mutations in several genes, with NIPBL being the most common. (NIH, genetics home reference)
