Review for 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness, Bend, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a member of the 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness group. This is an excellent source of information. As many doctors are not familiar with this diagnosis. I am grandma of Alisha Rassi who is 8 yrs old with 1p36.3. She was diagnoise at exactly 14 months. As far as I am concern and per doctors info she is the only case (till date) in Puerto Rico with this medical condition.

I would not make any changes since I feel the moderator of the group is doing an excellent job.

Role:  General Member of the Public & I give support to my 1p36 granddaughter. I try to create awareness and inform other of what this condition is.
