22q11 day
Once again this year, a number of cities across Europe took action to raise awareness of 22q11 syndrome by lighting up their emblematic buildings in red: UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Republic of Serbia, Poland, etc.
An incredible movement of solidarity across Europe on November 22, 2023
A huge thank you to all these countries for their support and commitment!
A great opportunity to be noticed
22q11 day is a great opportunity to raise awareness of 22q11 syndrome and symptoms among people and specialists to lead to better care.
Why raise awareness about it?
The cheer diversity of the symptoms of 22q11 patients makes a diagnosis very difficult. In fact, 50% of 22q11 patients are never diagnosed. Yet, an early diagnosis of 22q11 can lead to a much better life for affected individuals as earlier treatments of symptoms can curtail their severity. Besides, early diagnosis allows parents to better prepare the arrival of their child, it helps health professionals to better adapt their treatments and educators to better adapt the educational environment.
Raising awareness with the public thus improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disease!
