Welcome to the DOC16 Foundation!

We are committed to providing information and support to families dealing with the diagnosis of Mosaic Trisomy 16 disorder. While much more research needs to be done to fully comprehend this rare disorder, we hope that we can help parents and medical professionals better understand this diagnosis and its potential implications.

Here on our website, in addition to finding information about Mosaic Trisomy 16 disorder, you can read the personal stories of our children affected by Mosaic Trisomy 16 abnormalities and get connected to other parents who have experienced the same diagnosis. Please contact us for more information.

 

Congratulations to Shayna Lange!!

Shayna is now heading into her sophomore year of college.
