17q12 CNVs

17q12 PRISMA Research

This project at University of Alberta, Alberta Health Service and CASA mental health is enrolling children and adults who have had diagnostic genetic testing that showed a deletion or a duplication in chromosome 17q12 to understand how genetics can impact their healthcare.

 

We want to see how genetic results could be used in the future to inform medication choice, behavioral interventions, educational interventions, and identification and treatment of other medical conditions that may impact mental health.

How are 17q12 CNVs diagnosed?

Families arrive at a diagnosis in one of many ways: they may go to see their doctors because of developmental or psychiatric conditions, or because of issues with their kidneys or abnormal blood sugar levels. Doctors can then perform several tests, including genetic testing, where the 17q12 CNVs are revealed.

What are 17q12 CNVs?

17q12 deletion syndrome and 17q12 duplication syndrome.  Both syndromes involve the genes on the long arm (q arm) chromosome 17 at position 12 (one-two). Although the same piece of chromosome is affected in both syndromes, these are two different syndromes with separate symptoms and features.
