Whose child has the q22 gene issue?

[khaoskat]

Not for me, but on an Apraxia board I am on, someone there has a child with a q22 gene issue, and needs some help with early intervention and/or school based preschool services.

Connor has 22q11.2 Deletion, called Velocardiofacial Syndrome or DiGeorge Syndrome or Shprintzen Syndrome.

There is a lady on Children's Apraxia yahoo groups whose child has something similar, she states it is duplication of that same gene...

I am going to refer her to this post, if you don't mind, and you might be able to give her some references, etc to help her out in her journey..

Oh, okay. Duplication is a little different, and much more rare, but from what little I've read, similar presentation of symptoms.

I'd love to meet her

There's also unique.com that's a really interesting site with a database of families with kiddos who have rare chromosomal anomalies. We just got "accepted."
