Kidney Issues

Question: I’m trying to find out what typical kidney issues with individuals with CdLS have. Also trying to see if it is typical that individuals with CdLS have issues with high calcium levels or problems with their parathyroid.

Answer: No, we haven’t seen elevated calcium levels in CdLS. She should be managed as if she does not have CdLS for that type of work-up.
