CdLS Spectrum Clinical Criteria (scoring)

The CdLS spectrum encompasses a range of phenotypes consisting of classic (or typical) CdLS and non-classic CdLS, which are characterised by a combination of features (see Box 1).

The International CdLS Consensus Group propose consensus criteria based on the presence of a combination of signs and features (see Box 1). A diagnosis of classic CdLS can be confirmed if a score of 11 is reached, irrespective of the presence of a variant in a gene known to result in CdLS.
