Costello syndrome UK conference
Costello Syndrome, a rare genetic syndrome. It is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including dysmorphic craniofacial features, cardiac defects, ectodermal and musculoskeletal anomalies, failure to thrive, developmental delay and rare cancers. Our children are social, determined and bring great joy to life.
Most importantly, we are a support network through which families can share their experiences and support each other through this journey of raising our children with unique medical challenges.
We are raising funds in order to host a family conference in Manchester. The event will provide a oppertunity for families and leading medical professionals to come together and learn from each other in order to improve the health of all those affected.
Costello syndrome is related to CFC syndrome. They are both RASopathies and share many of the health issues.
Through your generosity we would like to make it possible for all families affected by both conditions to attend the conference.
Colin Stone Director of The International Costello Syndrome Support Group.
