Most affected individuals have mild to severe intellectual disability or delayed development of speech and motor skills such as sitting and walking. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
CSS is not progressive, so her conditions will not get worse, but because of her intellectual disabilities she most likely will not be able to drive a car or live on her own. [chop.edu]

Also typical, mostly in infancy and childhood, are feeding difficulties. In the presented case both of these symptoms, infections and feeding problems were present. [ispub.com]
Common minor findings include short stature, failure to thrive, feeding difficulties, microcephaly, ophthalmological manifestations (cataracts, ptosis, strabismus), cardiac anomalies (ventricular septal/atrial septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, patent [orpha.net]
If needed, the placement of a gastrostomy tube (a tube inserted through the abdomen to deliver nutrition directly to the stomach) can help with feeding difficulties. [rarediseases.org]

Hypertrichosis was described in 94% of patients. None of the other described patients have hyperinsulinism, PCOS or metabolic syndrome. [nature.com]
The hair is usually thin; on the body, however, especially on the face, hypertrichosis may be observed. [ispub.com]
Additional features may include thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, and generalized excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis) with the exception of the scalp hair, which tends to be relatively sparse (scalp hypotrichosis). [rarediseases.org]

The first description of the syndrome was published by Coffin and Siris in 1970; they described 3 girls with mental retardation, absent nails of the fifth fingers and hypoplastic distal phalanges [1]. [ispub.com]
In addition, affected infants and children may have short fifth fingers ("pinkies") and toes with underdeveloped (hypoplastic) or absent nails; other malformations of the fingers and toes; and eye abnormalities. [rarediseases.org]

Delayed Bone Age
bone age microcephaly coarse facial features, including wide nose, wide mouth, and thick eyebrows and lashes Causes[edit] Autosomal dominant inheritance is the most likely, usually by de novo mutation. [en.wikipedia.org]
In many cases spinal abnormalities have been recognized: spina bifida, scoliosis, kyphosis and delayed bone age. Less frequently, there occur blepharoptosis or macroglossia. [ispub.com]
In addition, affected infants and children may have hypotonia, abnormally loose joints, delayed bone age (2 to 3 years behind the chronological age), and mild to severe intellectual disability. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
(January 2018) Treatment[edit] There is no known cure or standard for treatment. Treatment is based on symptoms and may include physical, occupational and speech therapy and educational services as well. [en.wikipedia.org]
Management and treatment Treatment is essentially supportive and symptomatic. Occupational, physical and speech therapy are recommended. [orpha.net]
Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of CSS is directed toward the specific features of each individual. [rarediseases.org]
Biochemical analyses showed hyperinsulinaemia (fasting insulin level 42.1 mU/l) and treatment with metformin was started. Electrocardiogram showed a repolarization defect, and echocardiography revealed mild aortic valve insufficiency. [nature.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis is poor in severely affected individuals, with aspiration pneumonia and seizures reported in childhood. Association of tumor development including schwannomatosis has been reported. [orpha.net]
Etiology
Etiology Heterozygous mutation or genomic rearrangement in the following nine genes have been reported to be causative for CSS (highest to lowest proportion of reported cases): ARID1B (6q25.3), SMARCA4 (19p13.3), SMARCC2 (12q13.2), ARID1A (1p36.11), SOX11 [orpha.net]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology More than 150 cases of genetically confirmed Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) have been clinically reported to date. Exact prevalence and incidence are not known but the disorder is probably under-recognized. [orpha.net]
Prevention
During infancy, treatment may also require measures to help prevent or aggressively treat respiratory infections. Early intervention may be important in ensuring that affected children reach their potential. [rarediseases.org]
