There are many different chromosome 6 aberrations, each of which have their own clinical features. Most of the chromosome 6 aberrations are extremely rare.
Lack of knowledge about the clinical and developmental effects of chromosome 6 aberrations leads to uncertainty in families and less optimal care by professionals.

The goal of the international Chromosome 6 Foundation is to support research with the aim to improve the quality of life of children with a chromosome 6 aberration and their families.
