EMANUEL SYNDROME AWARENESS DAY - NOVEMBER 22 (11-22)
Emanuel Syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome, made up of parts of chromosomes 11 & 22. Our group knows of about 200 cases, and with reported cases, know of about 500 in the world. We know there are more out there. Children with Emanuel Syndrome can be born from a parent who carries a balanced translocation between chromosomes 11 & 22.
