Detailed Chromosome Info

We have known about Hazel's chromosome 6 micro-deletion for a few months now, but recently we have been reading some detailed information about C6 Deletions which was provided by our geneticist (Dr Golder Wilson).  The PDF (found at the bottom of the post) is a lengthy document but is a good read with information about other children with this micro deletion and to what extent it impacts their life.  

I don't think that everyone will want to read through the document, but it is worth posting if even one person wants to learn more.  I wanted to post it just in case anyone wanted to thumb through it, glance at a few pictures of the C6 kids or learn more about what this could mean for Hazel.

If you decide to take a look, just know that Hazel's deletion is 6p 25.3 through 25.2.  Meaning....6th chromosome, "p" meaning the short arm of the chromosome and 25.3-25.2 is the specific portion where her deletion occurred.

Hope everyone is having a great week!
