Join us in raising awareness and funds for our Inaugural 2023 Bay Area Believe Walk!

We are asking a few of our key partners to rally their friends, family, and networks to support our work. By raising awareness we can help other families who may still be searching for answers. Any funds raised will go to Dup15q Alliance which provides family support and promote awareness, research, and targeted treatments for Dup15q syndrome.

Starting a fundraiser is easy to do, and it's fun. We'll even give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. With your help, we can 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 families affected by dup15q, and promoting advocacy.

Dup15q Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by having an extra copy of a portion of chromosome 15 in the 11.2 – 13.1 region in combination with a number of symptoms that may include hypotonia and motor delays, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and epilepsy, including infantile spasms.

Our Mission

We 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 families affected by dup15q, and promoting advocacy.

Our Vision

We envision a world where families, clinicians, and advocates enable individuals with dup15q to thrive.

Through our work to raise awareness and promote research into chromosome 15q duplications, we seek to find targeted treatments so that affected individuals can live full and productive lives. Together with our families, Dup15q Alliance is working towards a better tomorrow.
