Headed by Dr. Ron Thibert, the Boston dup15q clinic was the first to open. It's a multidisciplinary clinic for children and adults with duplications of chromosome 15q. All individuals will be evaluated first in the neurology/epilepsy clinic and then referred to various doctors experienced in dup15q syndrome as needed in the areas of sleep medicine, gastroenterology, genetics, neuropsychology and psychiatry. Families traveling from out-of-town will be interviewed prior to the visit in order to schedule the proper evaluations. Available services include inpatient EEG monitoring, sleep studies and dietary therapy for epilepsy. Call (617) 726-6540 to set up an appointment.
