Work on our network of clinics for individuals with dup15q syndrome continues! Dup15q syndrome is a rare genetic disorder resulting from a duplication of chromsome 15q11.2-13.1. Symptoms include developmental delays, autism and seizures. Finding answers about a rare disorder such as this is often difficult in small communities. We seek to spread awareness by increasing communication between the medical community and our families.
We are currently in the planning stages of creating a centralized database for all nine dup15q clinics. Sharing clinical knowledge of dup15q syndrome is vital to finding the most effective treatments and therapies. We are fortunate to have a terrific group of clinicians and researchers working every day to increase our knowledge of this rare disorder. The more patients who visit our clinics, the more information we will have to study.
Please support our project today and help more families to visit a dup15q clinic! For more information on all we do, please visit www.dup15q.org. Together we can make a better tomorrow for all those affected by dup15q syndrome.
