Growth charts for height, weight and head circumference parameters of boys or girls with CdLS at different ages. Using these, a practitioner can follow growth as compared to other affected individuals rather than the unaffected population. If an individual deviates from the CdLS curve, then further investigation may be warranted.
The international Scientific Advisory Council (SAC) and Federation of CdLS National Support Groups have collaborated to produce this consensus statement which is presented here in two versions: that which was published in 'Nature Reviews, Genetics' in October 2018, and the Lay version which is a translation of the same document using language which is easier for families to understand.
Thanks to the accredited people at Cerebra Centre, UK, who worked on this translation.
