Coffin–Siris Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that causes developmental delays and absent fifth finger and toe nails.

Synonyms include Dwarfism-Onychodysplasia, Fifth Digit Syndrome, Mental Retardation with Hypoplastic 5th Fingernails and Toenails, and Short Stature-Onychodysplasia.

There had been 31 reported cases by 1991.[1] The numbers of occurrence since then has grown and is reported to be around 80.[2] at present there are 160 children diagnosed who are members in the Coffin Siris Support group on Facebook.

The differential includes Nicolaides–Baraitser syndrome.[3]

Characteristics

Causes

Autosomal recessive inheritance is the most likely, but sporadic mutations and autosomal dominant cases may also occur.

This syndrome has been associated with mutations in the ARID1B gene.[4]

Mutations in SOX11 are associated to this syndrome.[5]
