Cognitive, language, and adaptive behavior profiles in individuals with a diagnosis of Cohen syndrome.
[cohen syndrome]
Although
the
physical
characteristics
of
Cohen
syndrome
have
been
studied
in
considerable
detail
,
data
on
other
aspects
of
development
are
relatively
limited
.
We
report
findings
on
cognitive
,
linguistic
,
and
adaptive
profiles
in
a
group
of
45
individuals
clinically
diagnosed
with
Cohen
syndrome
when
aged
between
4
and
49
years
.
The
profile
of
skills
observed
was
consistent
with
other
recent
findings
.
Thus
,
independence
levels
generally
were
poor
,
but
socialization
skills
as
assessed
by
the
Vineland
were
relatively
less
impaired
.
This
particular
area
of
strength
probably
underlies
the
'
sociable
'
temperament
typically
associated
with
Cohen
syndrome
.
However
,
the
range
of
cognitive
ability
was
wider
than
reported
in
most
previous
research
,
raising
the
issue
of
whether
mental
retardation
should
be
considered
as
a
necessary
component
of
the
phenotype
.
The
implications
for
genetic
testing
are
discussed
.
