Chromosome Disorder Outreach, Inc. is a non-profit organization, founded, supported, and run by parents just like you. Our children are affected by a wide range of chromosome disorders, including deletions, duplications, trisomies, inversions, translocations, and rings.

Sometimes these disorders are so unusual that doctors tell us, “You’re the only one out there.”

But now using our newly introduced web application we have the capability to specifically categorize chromosomal karyotypes and finally begin to understand more about the genes involved in each rare chromosome rearrangement. We hope to eventually improve specifically tailored treatments to help affected individuals.

Please read our Introduction to Chromosomes for more about these rare disorders. We’ve been helping each other for over 17 years. Our families live around the world and CDO provides a network of support and information through an extensive library of available up-to-date articles, detailed registry, newsletters, and a listserv that’s online 24 hours a day, everyday. Please join us. Your support of CDO will help promote research and a better understanding of our children’s rare chromosome disorders.

Chromosome Disorder Outreach, Inc. is a current member of the Genetic Alliance and the National Organization of Rare Disorders.
