  Y-linked disorders are exceedingly rare but the most well-known examples typically cause infertility. Reproduction in such conditions is only possible through the circumvention of infertility by medical intervention. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Failure to Thrive

  Cockayne syndrome is considered in children who have failure to thrive, short stature, abnormal brain imaging, and other features of premature aging. The diagnosis is confirmed with genetic testing. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

  Children often suffer from severe failure to thrive and appear cachexic (severely underweight, often to the point of looking wasted). The patient pictured at the right was a 6-year-old girl with XP-CS. [forgottendiseases.org]

  Cockayne syndrome should be suspected in a child with postnatal failure to thrive, microcephaly, and two of the other starred (*) clinical findings. Diagnosis is confirmed on genetic testing and the demonstration of mutations in the ERCC genes. [dermnetnz.org]

  Two possible exceptions were failure to thrive and sex: 10/10 XP-D patients had failure to thrive, compared to 10/12 XP-G patients. This difference was not statistically significant according to a Fisher’s exact test. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

  In addition to complications involving the skin and eyes, approximately 25-30% of individuals with XP develop neurological abnormalities such as diminished deep tendon reflexes, progressive hearing loss, intellectual disability, small head-size (microcephaly [my46.org]

  Microcephaly, a condition where an individual has an abnormally small head, is a common symptom of Cockayne Syndrome. Figure 6. Cataracts, a condition where the lens of the eye becomes clouded and impairs vision, are common in individuals with CS. [beethemgen564s17.weebly.com]

  Neurological symptoms of De Sanctis-Cacchione syndrome and some XP subtypes can include: slow or no reflexes poor motor skills small head size (microcephaly) developmental delays muscle rigidity, spasticity, or weakness poor control of bodily movement [healthline.com]

• Withdrawn

  Patients who lose their hearing may feel isolated and become withdrawn and/or depressed. These factors can accelerate decline. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

• Neurologic Manifestation

  No neurological manifestations are observed. [orpha.net]
