Presentation
Both syndromes present a strong overlap with COFS syndrome [18]. [bmcmedgenomics.biomedcentral.com]
However, hypomyelination and the facial features of typical CS patients are not present. Diagmosis and Treatment COFS is usually diagnosed at birth. [disabled-world.com]
Microencephaly is present in the three fetuses with delayed development of the gyri, but normal microscopic anatomy at the supratentorial level. Microscopic anomalies reminiscent of pontocerebellar hypoplasia are present at the infratentorial level. [canceropole-est.org]
Patients in the present study fulfilled these clinical diagnostic criteria. [spandidos-publications.com]
While this scientific content is of paramount importance, however, care has been taken to ensure that the information is presented in a way that is accessible to readers working within a range of disciplines in the clinical neurosciences, and that also [books.google.it]

- Poor Growth
Introduction Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by poor growth, neurological abnormality and a short life span ( 1 ). It occurs at a rate of about 2.7 per million births in western Europe ( 2 ). [spandidos-publications.com]
Neurologic
- Hyperreflexia
Both hypotonia and hyperreflexia have been described. Kyphosis and scoliosis are common. CT scans may show intracranial calcifications and brain histology shows severe neurodegeneration with neuronal loss and gliosis. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Clinical manifestations Clinical criteria are: Microcephaly, often lissencephaly, bar agenesis Muscular hypotension, hyperreflexia, areflexia progressive degradation of psychomotor skills lack of language development Microphthalmia, anophthalmia, cataract [de.zxc.wiki]
They showed failure to thrive, recurrent pneumonias, axial hypotonia, appendicular hypertonia, hyperreflexia, and progressive contractures. Both were considered to have typical COFS syndrome. The girl died at age 5 years. [datapunk.net]

Treatment
Treatment Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Individuals with the disorder often require tube feeding. Because COFS is genetic, genetic counseling is available. × Treatment Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. [ninds.nih.gov]
Treatment Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Individuals with the disorder often require tube feeding. Because COFS is genetic, genetic counseling is available. Prognosis COFS is a fatal disease. Most children do not live beyond five years. [wikidoc.org]
Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment is available for this disorder. References [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Treatment is based on an individual's symptoms and includes supportive care. [news-medical.net]
Prognosis
Prognosis COFS is a fatal disease. Most children do not live beyond five years. x Prognosis COFS is a fatal disease. Most children do not live beyond five years. Prognosis COFS is a fatal disease. Most children do not live beyond five years. [ninds.nih.gov]
Patients with type II present with a more severe prognosis, whereas patients with type III live into adulthood. Prognosis - Cockayne syndrome Not supplied. [checkorphan.org]
Prognosis The prognosis varies with the severity of the genetic disorder, the success in avoiding UV light and vigilance of screening. [patient.info]
Etiology
Elsevier Health Sciences, ١٨/٠٨/٢٠١٣ - 979 من الصفحات Smith’s Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation has long been known as the source to consult on multiple malformation syndromes of environmental and genetic etiology as well as recognizable disorders [books.google.com]
Etiology In animal models, viruses, neuromuscular diseases, hyperthermia, and limb immobilization are responsible for contractures [ 1 ]. [hindawi.com]
They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

Introduction History Cause and symptoms Epidemiology Case reports Diagnosis and treatment References Further reading Cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome or COFS is a rare neurodegenerative disease with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. [news-medical.net]
Disease Epidemiology Only 14 cases of COFS were documented between 1974 and 2010.[3] The only documented case of COFS since 2010 was reported in 2021 by Sirchia et al.[1] Etiology COFS is a congenital autosomal recessive disorder stems from a mutation [eyewiki.org]
Pathophysiology
(See Pathophysiology, Etiology, and Presentation.) [emedicine.medscape.com]
Microarray analysis and targeted molecular testing for mutations in the following genes can help determine a couple’s risk for conceiving a child with COFS: 46 nucleotide excision repair genes, most notably:[1] ERCC1 ERCC2 ERCC5 ERCC6 KIAA1109 PHGDH FKTN Pathophysiology [eyewiki.org]
This defective repair of ultraviolet-induced lesions may well explain the cutaneous photosensitivity of patients with CS, but the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind the remaining clinical features are poorly understood. [ajnr.org]
The pathophysiologic mechanism of this is located in the area of muscle fibers (ragged-red fibers), central nervous system, and chondrocytes [ 34, 35 ]. 2.1.3. [hindawi.com]
