Can individuals with CdLS have children?


A small number of women with CdLS have given birth. Often, mothers have only been diagnosed after their child has been diagnosed with CdLS. Few men with CdLS have fathered a child, though there is little data about fertility in males with CdLS. 

Sexual education should be offered to individuals with CdLS and education should be appropriate to the level of understanding. Contraceptive options are the same as for the general population.
