The CdLS World Scientific Advisory Council (SAC)
The establishment of the SAC has been designed to coordinate, support and develop resources in all countries where people with CdLS live. The SAC is multidisciplinary support group of more than 40 international medical professionals which covers 23 different areas of expertise.
Additionaly to the SAC our country members also have their own national SAC or other structures of professional support which are connected to the SAC in the person of the Professional Director (PD) of each country member.

2. To provide professional clinical and educational support to the CdLS World Federation.
3. To promote research regarding CdLS.
