Clinical delineation and genotype-phenotype correlation of 84 pediatric patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome: insights from a single-center Chinese study.

A large study of Cornelia de Lange syndrome in Chinese children expands global understanding of this genetic disorder's features and variations.

This single-center retrospective study of 84 Chinese pediatric CdLS patients describes clinical features and genotype-phenotype correlations, adding East Asian cohort data to the global CdLS literature. Findings expand understanding of CdLS spectrum but are limited by single-center retrospective design.
