I have Cleidocranial Dysplasia and I am co-moderator of the CCD website on yahoo.

There are members of my family who have been diagnosed with CCD.

I am 24 years old and have Cleidocranial Dysplasia. I am interested in knowing more about CCD in adults.

Hi my name is Jerry and I was born with Cranial Cliedio Dysplasia (CCD).

I have CD and we have 3 children with CD. Just looking in general for more information on the disorder and listen in on what others have experienced and how you’ve handled the variety of “symptoms.”

I and my two adult daughters have CCD. We now have our first grandson who has yet to be tested as he is just 6 weeks old. I will be traveling to CA to meet with our family genetic doctor for his first visit in a few months. It’s been a long road with my daughters however, with groups like this I’m hoping to help others as I have been helped over the years. Looking forward to the experience, Lorena

My grandson was born with CCD. At the time of his birth in 2001, it was difficult to get much info about it. He has a rare form of CCD but faces the same problems with a soft spot that won’t ever close, he’s deaf in one ear and of course the absence of clavicles.

Tengo una hija que tiene este sindrome, por lo cual estoy muy interesada en toda la información relativa al tema. Tambien quisisea saber si hay algun grupal en español para poder comunicarme con mayor fluidez.
Gracias,

I am 58 and was born with this condition. I have all of the things that are described in every thing that I have read, but have had no really adverse effects until now, and I am wondering if it is related to this condition.
I have horrible arthritis in my one ankle, and I wonder if there is anyone else out there that has lived with this for many years, and is having skeletal problems. All of the doctors say no, but then many of the doctors don’t really know about this condition.

Thanks. It is really nice to see that there is a support group of us out there!!
