Rare Chromosone Disorders

Individually most chromosome disorders are rare but collectively they are numerous.

Rare chromosome disorders occur because of extra, missing or rearranged chromosomal material. This means that the genes, the instructions that should make our bodies work and develop properly, don’t function correctly. Some chromosomal disorders are so rare they are actually unique. This can lead to desperate feelings of isolation in affected families.

Support and information is available for people affected by a rare chromosomal disorder.
