I am excited to announce that I have signed up as a Charity Runner in the 2023 NYC Marathon to support the Dup15q Alliance! Their mission is to empower individuals living with dup15q syndrome and other related rare diseases to reach their full potential by advancing breakthrough research and life-changing therapeutic treatments, supporting and advocating for families affected by dup15q syndrome.
Dup15q Syndrome is one of the most common genetic causes of autism and intellectual disability. It is caused by having an extra copy of a portion of chromosome 15 in the 11.2 – 13.1 region. I have dedicated much of my career to working with these families, both as a child neurologist and as a clinical researcher, and through tremendous efforts we are getting closer to treatments, with our first clinical trial starting this summer!
I will be taking on 26.2 miles of New York City streets on November 5th, and even a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for DUP15Q ALLIANCE.
