Clin Genet. 1980 May;17(5):317-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1980.tb00156.x.

Abstract

The Cohen Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder consisting of obesity, mental retardation, limb abnormalities and characteristic craniofacial appearance. Of the seven previously reported patients, none had any cardio-vascular involvement. This report describes an affected Jewish female, who, in addition to the usual malformations, has a floppy mitral valve.
