Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a multisystem developmental disorder characterized by
facial dysmorphisms, upper limb abnormalities, growth delay and cognitive retardation.
Mutations in the NIPBL gene, a component of the cohesin complex, account for
approximately half of the affected individuals. We report here that mutations in SMC1L1
(also known as SMC1), which encodes a different subunit of the cohesin complex, are
responsible for CdLS in three male members of an affected family and in one sporadic case.

Abstract
Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a multisystem developmental disorder characterized by facial dysmorphisms, upper limb abnormalities, growth delay and cognitive retardation. Mutations in the NIPBL gene, a component of the cohesin complex, account for approximately half of the affected individuals. We report here that mutations in SMC1L1 (also known as SMC1), which encodes a different subunit of the cohesin complex, are responsible for CdLS in three male members of an affected family and in one sporadic case.
