Thank you for your generous support of our project! 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.
Meet Max. He visited one our clinics recently and was able to participate in a cutting edge study for kids with dup15q syndrome. By studying EEG data, we are hoping to learn the best ways to help improve communication and social skills in kids with dup15q syndrome and autism. Lessons learned at the clinics help the affected families improve their day-to-day lives. We are making a real difference in the happiness of these kids.
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.
