FIND

Further Inform Neurogenetic Disorders (FIND) is a website created by the Cerebra Centre for Neurodevelopmental disorders and researchers from the University of Birmingham.  Prof. Chris Oliver and a team of researchers attended the 2015 Kleefstra syndrome conference in order to begin research and gain a better understanding of this rare syndrome.

We are delighted to be able to continue our work with FIND and are looking forward to the Kleefstra syndrome resources they are developing for their website.

Unique

Unique’s mission is to inform, support and alleviate the isolation of anyone affected by a rare chromosome disorder and to raise public awareness.

We began working with Unique in 2008 to develop the Kleefstra syndrome community.  In 2009 Unique organised the first Ks gathering and produced an information leaflet on the syndrome.  We continue to have regular contact with the team at Unique in order to support families and develop information.
