What is Cohen's syndrome?

Cohen's syndrome, named for one of the scientists who originally described it at the age of 70, is a genetic disorder associated with mental disabilities, unusual facial features and poor muscle tone. It is a genetic recessive, including anomalies with the eighth chromosome area. People must inherit two copies of a defective chromosome to express this condition, and it can be quite variable in the presentation because it is a complex of genes. Treatment is aimed at providing appropriate supporting care to keep patients comfortable. The head tends to be less than usual and will continue to maintain a small size as soon as the child develops, while the space between the upper lip and the nose is shorter than usual, causing the child to have an expression open by mouth. When the teeth develop, the front incisors are often large. Hands and legs can also be smaller than expected, and many vision problems with this condition. This may expose them to the risk of joint tension and damage caused by the bending of the joints too far and injuryneighboring bonds and muscles. As people aged with this condition, obesity often develops in the hull, with limbs to normally be in size and many of them have a friendly, outgoing disposition.

Cohen's syndrome is usually associated with mental disabilities, and this may vary in severity. Some people with this condition have limited learning capacity and may not be able to understand complex concepts, develop language skills and live independently. Others may have a milder delay of learning and learning difficulties requiring some personal assistance, but a potentially ability to live alone. Cohen's syndrome may also be associated with seizures, which may cause brain damage in the long run.

Also known as pepper syndrome, this condition is rare. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance of a child with the condition and intensity of symptoms is difficult to predict. The changing presentation can also make it difficult to diagnosetick without genetic sequencing and detailed observation of the patient. People who are afraid of the risks of passing genetic diseases
