Article Abstract
Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) is a rare genetic condition associated with mutations in genes responsible for the modulation of gene expression and chromatin remodeling. Patients with CSS commonly present with congenital anomalies, intellectual disabilities, and developmental delays. We describe a case of a 28-year-old woman with a confirmed diagnosis of CSS and mutation who presents with multiple schwannomas and an intra-abdominal neurofibroma. The patient underwent embolization and resection of an enlarging, symptomatic schwannoma of her left medial upper arm. In detailing the patient's presentation, this case report underscores the association between mutations, CSS, and tumorigenesis.

Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by underdeveloped toenails or fingernails, developmental delays, and intellectual disability, among other characteristics. The clinical manifestations can vary significantly. We present a case involving a Saudi girl who had global developmental delay, hypertrichosis, and subtle dysmorphic traits since birth but remained undiagnosed until the age of nine.

SMARCB1 is a core unit of the BAF chromatin remodelling complex and its functional impairment interferes with the self-renewal and pluripotency of stem cells, lineage commitment, cellular identity and differentiation. SMARCB1 is also an important tumour suppressor gene and somatic SMARCB1 pathogenic variants (PVs) have been detected in ~ 5% of all human cancers. Additionally, germline SMARCB1 PVs have been identified in patients with conditions as clinically diverse as Rhabdoid Tumour Predisposition Syndrome type 1 (RTPS1), schwannomatosis and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS).

Purpose: To report a case of delayed diagnosis of glaucoma in a patient with Coffin-Siris Syndrome (CSS) who did not have any other predisposing risk factors or typical anterior segment signs of congenital glaucoma.
Observations: A 27-year-old male with CSS was referred to the ophthalmology department for evaluation of strabismus. Past ocular history included a diagnosis of right morning glory anomaly and bilateral hyperopic astigmatism.

Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorder (NDDs) such as intellectual disability, developmental delay encompasses a diverse group of conditions caused by the disruptions in the central nervous system (CNS) during development. Variants in the SWItch/Sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex genes are significant contributors to NDDs. ARID2, ARID1B, and SMARCC2 are important subunits of the SWI/SNF complex, and their variants can also result in Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS), a type of NDDs characterized by CNS disorders, global developmental delay, visual/hearing impairment, distinct facial features, and congenital heart disease (CHD).
