Story

Dup15q Alliance provides family support and promotes awareness, research and targeted treatments for dup15q syndrome. Symptoms of this rare genetic disorder include autism, seizures and developmental delays. Every two years we hold a conference for affected families to provide education on the latest treatments for dup15q and to create a sense of hope and community that is often difficult for our 1,000 registered families to find locally due to the rarity of the disorder.

Impact

Your support of the Dup15q Alliance mission to raise awareness and promote research into chromosome 15q duplications, supports the Dup15q Alliance in seeking to find targeted treatments so that affected individuals can live full and productive lives. Together with our families, Dup15q Alliance is working towards a better tomorrow for children with Dup15q Syndrome.
