Cockayne syndrome

Background

This syndrome was described in 1936. In its most common form, those with the syndrome experience early ageing and deterioration of their neurological system. The age of the onset of symptoms and the progression of the disease can vary amongst individuals. The early-onset form of Cockayne syndrome shares some of the same features as COFS (cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal) syndrome.
