Family conferences are vital for spreading awareness and providing support to families dealing with chromosome15q11.2-13.1 duplication syndrome, a rare genetic disorder with symptoms including autism, seizures, and developmental delays. Our 2015 conference, titled Stronger Together, will be held in Orlando, Florida in July.
As knowledge of chromosome15q duplications increases, this conference gives parents and caregivers a chance to interact with the clinicians and reserachers on the forefront of dup15q science. There is still so much to be learned and this connection between families and scientists is vital to increasing our knowledge.
However, the cost to attend a conference is often prohibitive. Families from across the United States and as far away as Australia and Switzerland are planning to attend the 2015 conference and you can help them! By making a donation to our project, you can directly help Dup15q Alliance provide scholarships to our families.
For more information on Dup15q Alliance, and all we do to help families affected by dup15q syndrome, please visit our website at www.dup15q.org.
Thank you for your support!
