Chromosome 22 Central

C22C is a global collection of parents and people affected by chromosome 22 disorders who connect, advocate and grow, together.

Our website is a hub for people to find immediate connections with others through our various social media platforms, and to find basic information and links to other resources. 

Started in 1996 with just 17 families of children with what is now known as Emanuel syndrome, Chromosome 22 Central has grown over the past 25 years into a community for anyone needing support or information about disorders of chromosome 22. Our members represent conditions such as full and mosaic trisomy 22, Emanuel syndrome, Cat Eye Syndrome, balanced translocation and unbalanced translocations involving chromosome 22, rare chromosome 22 disorders, and of course, the more common 22q11.2 deletions, duplications and 22q13 deletion, known as Phelan McDermid syndrome.
