22q11 Deletion and Autism Awareness

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The 22q11 deletion is now recongnized as one of the most prevalent causes of birth defects including such common problems as CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS,CLEFT PALATE, as well as speech and language delay, feeding difficulty, and Learning Disabilities.The test that confirms the 22q11 deletion {FISH} was only developed in the 1990's, so many children with the symptons of the disorder remains UNDIAGNOSED even today. I hope to spread the word about the disorder so that every doctor will recognize the signs and diagnose early! Please join me and send the space to everyone!!! For more information on 22q11 see the blogs.Layout by Smitten Kitten Designs
