Age-related changes in cognition and behaviour

        Per i genitori, gli assistenti, i fornitori di assistenza sanitaria e gli insegnanti, sorgono spesso preoccupazioni e domande riguardanti la cura e il benessere degli individui con sindrome di Cornelia de Lange. 

Research has suggested that behavioural, emotional and cognitive characteristics in CdLS can change with age.

Findings from one study suggest an association between age and a higher number of behavioural difficulties in individuals with CdLS. In this study, older age was specifically associated with lower levels of interest and pleasure, and greater insistence on sameness. This suggests older individuals with CdLS display more difficulties.
