CdLS Research

Mission Statement:
The Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) Foundation is a family support organization that exists to insure early and accurate diagnosis of the syndrome, promote research into the causes and manifestations of the syndrome, and help people with a diagnosis of CdLS, and others with similar characteristics, make informed decisions throughout their lifetime.

The CdLS Foundation is the only organization in the US that is dedicated to improving the lives of people with CdLS. The Foundation should be the primary contact for anyone who has an interest in CdLS. It’s the Foundation's role to make sure that families’ confidentiality and trust are protected and that researchers are operating with our best interests in mind. It’s equally important that there be an open forum for discussion regarding improving our services or questioning our work whenever needed.

If you are seeking CdLS Foundation sanction (not funding) for a CdLS-related project you are working on, download the application below. Questions should be addressed to the Research Committee by emailing outreach@CdLSusa.org
