These are just a few examples of autosomal deletions. It’s important to note that while these conditions may be rare, they can still have a significant impact on those affected and their families. Early diagnosis and intervention can help improve outcomes for individuals with these conditions.
If you suspect that you or a loved one may be affected by an autosomal deletion, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional. Genetic testing may be recommended to confirm a diagnosis and provide information about potential treatment options.
