DES women. Both had reproductive damage and could not have children.
DES typically leads to early cancer, and non functioning or malformed
genitalia.
In males the damage was visible as a rule. In females it can be hidden, and
only found after puberty and/or with examinations.

DES sons have a higher rate of testicular cancer
DES sons and daughters have a higher incidence of abnormalities
reproductive tract
DES offspring
daughters
greater difficulty in conceiving
increased miscarriages
increased spontaneous abortions
3-5 x more tubal pregnancies
sons
higher incidence of malformed or abnormally small penis
higher incidence of undescended testicles at birth

I think DES has only been studied on the reproductive system of those
borne to mothers who were given DES.
