Mosaicism


        Per i genitori, gli assistenti, i fornitori di assistenza sanitaria e gli insegnanti, sorgono spesso preoccupazioni e domande riguardanti la cura e il benessere degli individui con sindrome di Cornelia de Lange. 

Mosaicism, means there are different groups of cells with different genetic make-up in a person. This means that some cells in the person will have the mutation and others will not. Mosaicism has been found to occur frequently in CdLS. 

Approximately 15-20% of individuals with classic features of CdLS have mosaic changes in NIPBL; and although it is rare, individuals with CdLS can also have mosaic changes in SMC3, RAD21 or SMC1A. These mosaic changes cannot be found using genetic testing that examines an individual’s DNA from their white blood cells.

Mosaicism should be considered in individuals with CdLS in whom a variant in a gene known to cause CdLS cannot be detected in blood cells, in which case other tissues such as fibroblasts (skin), buccal (cheek) cells or bladder epithelial cells from urine should be studied.
