About Dup15q Alliance
We are parents, grandparents, professionals, and advocates providing support for patients, families, and caregivers. We are passionate about personal connections, family support, community awareness, and scientific research.
Dup15q Alliance connects families online through our Parent Support Facebook Group and virtual connection groups, face-to-face through regional gatherings, and at our family conferences. In addition to connecting families, Dup15q Alliance has several family support programs for each stage of the Dup15q journey.
Dup15q Alliance funds the LADDER Database and works closely with pharmaceutical partners to identify research in varying modalities and endpoints. Our goal is to improve clinical care and discover treatments, such as behavioral and drug therapies, targeted specifically for Dup15q syndrome.
We have 17 operating clinics providing standardized care for patients with 15q disorders. Our clinics serve as a platform for robust research, including the collection of integral natural history data.
