Coffin-Lowry Syndrome
Coffin-Lowry syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused by changes in the RPS6KA3 gene on the X chromosome. It affects learning and development, and can cause distinctive facial features, large soft hands, short stature and spine or skeletal problems. Some people have drop attacks triggered by noise or excitement. Care is supportive and involves therapy, education support and monitoring of the heart and spine.
This overview is general information, not an individual medical assessment. Research is selected automatically and may include mismatches. How we select and explain research.
There is not much recent research on Coffin-Lowry Syndrome, so this page includes research published since 2015. Most pages on RareWays start at 2020.
Most Recent Research
Background/Objectives: Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is a rare X-linked disease caused by pathogenic variants in the RPS6KA3 gene. It is generally characterized by syndromic intellectual disability and distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, stimulus-induced drop attacks in males, and variable manifestations in females. Methods: We report clinical and genetic findings in a series of 10 cases, eight males and two females, evaluated at the Regional Centre of Medical Genetics Dolj-Emergency Clinical County Hospital Craiova. Results: Genetic testing identified 10 de novo variants in the RPS6KA3 gene consisting of six missense mutations, one nonsense variant, one frameshift, and two variants in non-coding or intronic regions. Case management requires multidisciplinary coordination and is limited to resources mostly available in reference centers. Conclusions: CLS highlights the importance of molecular diagnosis in rare genetic disorders, particularly when clinical features are subtle or atypical. These findings have practical implications for clinical management, suggesting the need for comprehensive genetic screening and individualized care approaches.
