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.
A mosaic change in the CHD5 gene was identified in a female, age 4 with seizures, global developmental delay, and optic nerve hypoplasia (read full description).

chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 5
The CHD5 gene codes for a protein important in chromatin remodeling, specifically in the nervous system (Thompson, et al., 2003)
A mosaic change in this gene was identified in a UDN participant. Research is underway to see if this de novo change is causing symptoms in this participant.
