Hi,
I just happened
to Google my chromosome abnormality and came across a website which pertained to a research trial asking for participants with the 15 q deletion. The page didn't have a date on it and it was for US and Canadian people only but I emailed the address given, gave them my details and sat back expecting not to hear anything.
Imagine my surprise when I received an email from the scientist running the trial. The trial is still current and they are willing to screen me as a participant. In that one email from him I already found out that no other person (that he has dealt with) has a copper transport problem associated with this deletion and that my disorder is, on the balance of probabilities, coincidental. This gives me hope that it may also be curable.
I'm very excited to have found this research trial and I have my fingers crossed that I'll be accepted.
Regards
Chirley
