On this page, you will find information about a genetic change that was identified in a UDN participant. We are trying to find others with the same or similar condition.
Sharing information on this website is not a requirement of UDN participation. Only descriptions about participants who give explicit consent will appear here.

The CHD5 gene codes for a protein important in chromatin remodeling, specifically in the nervous system (Thompson, et al., 2003)
A de novo mosaic change in this gene was identified in a UDN participant. Research is underway to see if this change is causing symptoms in this participant.
