assistant: What are the signs and symptoms of Cohen syndrome? The signs and symptoms of Cohen syndrome may vary greatly from person to person. Some studies have suggested that a large number of people with Cohen syndrome have similar facial features regardless of ethnic background, including thick hair and eyebrows, long eyelashes, wave-shaped palpebral fissures, broad nasal tip, smooth or shortened philtrum, and hypotonic appearance.  Other findings that tend to be more common among almost all people with Cohen syndrome are listed below. Retinal dystrophy (a condition in which the muscles of the retina do not work properly) Progressive high myopia (nearsightedness) Acquired microcephaly (smaller than normal-sized head) Non-progressive mental retardation, global developmental delay Hypotonia Joint hyperextensibility (unusually large range of joint movement) The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Cohen syndrome. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary to look up the definitions for these medical terms.

Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature. The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom. Because these frequencies are based on a specific study, the fractions may be different if another group of patients are examined. Sometimes, no information on frequency is available. In these cases, the sign or symptom may be rare or common.
