The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to: Raise transformative funding for pioneering scientific research into treatments for a complex, rare disease involving 250+ affected genes on the short arm of the 8 th chromosome (8p).

Raise transformative funding for pioneering scientific research into treatments for a complex, rare disease involving 250+ affected genes on the short arm of the 8 th chromosome (8p).

pose surveillance care guidelines for caregivers and medical providers of patients with Chromosome 8p Syndromes. Observations from clinical experience with 24 patients seen at our 8p-dedicated Multi-Disciplinary Neurogenetics program are shared. 1 | Introduction The p-arm of chromosome 8 is home to repeating Olfactory

The impact of 8p conditions varies between individuals. Symptoms include: Sometimes our brain mixes up signals when we want to bring food to our mouth and misfires — and the food ends up on our heads!

In this report, we add to the phenotypic and functional description of these patients according to their specific chromosomal rearrangement, share neuro-psychometric values, and propose surveillance care guidelines for caregivers and medical …

Raise transformative funding for pioneering scientific research into treatments for a complex, rare disease involving 250+ affected genes on the short arm of the 8 th chromosome (8p).

Inverted duplication and deletion of 8p, known as inv dup del 8p, is a rare genetic condition that is estimated to occur once in every 10,000-30,000 births.

Empower a unified community of 8p patients and their families so they can have meaningful lives today; and Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.

Anyone who has an interest in 8p disorders can attend the conference. At past conferences we’ve had families with an 8p hero, related adults, parents, kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends.
