Our Chromosome 15 and Related Disorders Clinic is recognized as a center of excellence in Angelman syndrome and Dup15q by the Angelman Syndrome Foundation and the Dup15q Alliance. Led by Dr. Diana Walleigh, the clinic is only one of 40 institutions worldwide able to treat these patients, and just one of three to receive this designation. https://lnkd.in/g7CFrRMe

The Dup15q Alliance and Idic15 Canada are proud to collaborate together in honor of Chromosome 15q11.2-13.1 Duplication Syndrome Awareness Day! (Dup15q syndrome) Together, we are raising awareness about Chromosome 15q11.2-13.1 Duplication Syndrome (Dup15q syndrome) and all of its genetic variants. October 15th has been named Idic15 World Awareness Day. This day was created to bring awareness to Idic15, the first known genetic variation of this syndrome. Over the years, dedicated clinical research and improvements in genetic testing have identified several other variations of the syndrome, including interstitial and mosaic. Although the names are different, we represent all those affected by Chromosome 15q11.2-13.1 Syndrome (Dup15q syndrome). #Dup15q #Idic15 #interstitial #Mosiac #Idic15Canada
