About Us

The 22q11.2 Society is an academic organization interested in advancing the study of chromosome 22q11.2 copy number variants, genes within and modifier genes outside of the 22q11.2 region, their underlying biology, and associated conditions. Members represent a broad range of backgrounds, such as: healthcare providers, clinical and basic science researchers, educators, therapists, and family advocates.

Mission

The mission of the 22q11.2 Society is to promote both basic science and clinical interdisciplinary research into the biology of the 22q11.2 region, and the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of related disorders. A subsidiary goal is to exploit the knowledge so gained for the benefit of populations of individuals with more common conditions. As such, we will endeavor to:

Encourage collaboration and communication between clinicians and researchers in studying these conditions
Facilitate research surrounding causes, clinical features, and treatment
Strive for the highest ethical standards in research and clinical practice involving children and adults affected by these conditions
Support the provision of guidance in best practice care
Raise awareness and promote education throughout a broad range of clinical communities and the general public
Promote collaborative and international partnerships in understanding features associated with chromosome 22q11.2 differences

The vision of the 22q11.2 Society is to be the international leader in promoting research related to the chromosome 22q11.2 region.
