This syndrome is hereditary and transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait, with considerable variability of expression. The wide variety of manifestations observed, raises the possibility that not all of cases of Cohen syndrome correspond to the same process. It has been suggested that there are 2 types of Cohen syndrome, one with neutropenia and the other without neutropenia. Until now, nearly 100 cases have been reported. Orthodontic and orthopedic management as well as psychopedagogic measures and possible growth hormone therapy are necessary. Obesity progresses over time, along with the orthopedic alterations and oral problems, though the patient life expectancy is not altered in any significant way. Recently, characterization of a novel gene, COH1 (locus 8q22-q23) that is mutated in patients with Cohen syndrome has been reported. COH1 encodes a putative transmembrane protein which may be is involved in vesicle-mediated sorting and transport of proteins within the cell.

  • Blueprint Genetics Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Panel
    Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Panel Test code: HE0801 Is a 135 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. The genes on this panel are included in the Comprehensive Hematology Panel. About Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) are a diverse set of genetic disorders characterized by the inability of the bone marrow to produce sufficient circulating blood cells. Bone marrow failure can affect all blood cell lineages causing clinical symptoms similar to aplastic anemia, or be restricted to one or two blood cell lineages. The clinical presentation may include thrombocytopenia or neutropenia. Hematological manifestations may be accompanied by physical features such as short stature and abnormal skin pigmentation in Fanconi anemia and dystrophic nails, lacy reticular pigmentation and oral leukoplakia in dyskeratosis congenita. Patients with IBMFS have an increased risk of developing cancer—either hematological or solid tumors. Early and correct disease recognition is important for management and surveillance of the diseases. Currently, accurate genetic diagnosis is essential to confirm the clinical diagnosis. The most common phenotypes that are covered by the panel are Fanconi anemia, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and WAS-related disorders.

Abstract In this case report we describe a patient with cohen syndrome and severe neutropenia. The patient was found to have a mutation of previously undetermined significance in the ELANE gene and compound heterozygous mutations in the COH1 gene causing Cohen syndrome. While the mutation in ELANE may not have led to clinically significant neutropenia independently, the presence of this mutation in conjunction with mutations in COH1 led to neutropenia that was more severe than what is typically seen in Cohen syndrome.

  • Cohen Syndrome
    Cohen syndrome What is Cohen syndrome? Cohen syndrome is an inherited disease with variable signs and symptoms. Cohen syndrome is known to be caused by mutations in the gene that produces the VPS13B protein; however, the function of the VPS13B protein is currently unknown.1 What are the symptoms of Cohen syndrome and what treatment is available? The symptoms of Cohen syndrome are variable and may include1.2: • Developmental delay • Intellectual disability • Microcephaly (small head) • Hypotonia (poor muscle tone) • Nearsightedness • Retinal dystrophy (degeneration of the retina of the eye) • Joint hypermobility (large range of movement) • Neutropenia (abnormal white blood cell count) • Overly friendly behavior • Truncal obesity • Narrow hands and feet • Delayed puberty • Distinctive facial features Treatment is supportive and focuses on prevention of complications and management of symptoms.2 How is Cohen syndrome inherited? Cohen syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the VPS13B gene.1 An individual who inherits one copy of a VPS13B gene mutation is a carrier. Carriers are not affected with Cohen syndrome. An individual who inherits two VPS13B mutations, one from each parent, is expected to be affected with Cohen syndrome. If both members of a couple are carriers of mutations in the same gene, the risk for an affected child is 25% in each pregnancy; therefore, it is especially important that the reproductive partner of a carrier be offered testing. Who is at risk for Cohen syndrome? Cohen syndrome is a rare condition with an unknown prevalence. It may be seen more commonly among the Finnish population.3 Having a relative who is a carrier or who is affected can increase an individual’s risk to be a carrier.
