1p36 is a syndrome that affects thousands of children, teens, adults and their families. 1p36 Deletion Syndrome affects up to 1 in 5000 births. It is a genetic condition where a small amount of genetic material is missing (deleted) at the tip of the short arm of the chromosome 1.
This missing chromosome results in a variety of issues, including:
· Seizure disorder · Growth/feeding problems · Developmental and intellectual disabilities · Congenital malformations · Cardiomyopathy and thyroid issues These are just a few of the many issues that affect those born with 1p36 Deletion Syndrome and their families.
Please help us bring families and communities together in support and hope.
The 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness Organization will be holding its annual conference at the Four Points Sheraton in San Diego, CA from July 28th- July 30th, 2016.
