What is 22q Syndrome?
22q Syndrome is one of that rare syndrome you have heard of. Also called 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, it is a disorder caused by a defect in chromosome 22. According to the 22q Family Foundation, it is a disorder caused by a small missing piece of 22nd chromosome. This missing portion of chromosome 22 can affect every system in the human body. Often time, it is not diagnosed or recognised as the cause of a child’s health or development issues for years, noted the site. 22q Syndrome is believed to be the second most common genetic disorder behind Down’s Syndrome, yet most have never heard of it. There is no cure, but treatments can usually address critical health concerns.
Justin runs a YouTube channel through which he initiates awareness among his subscribers about the syndrome and how life with the syndrome is. If you haven’t wished Merry Christmas to Justin yet, tweet out quickly and make his holiday a memorable one.
