How will this Research be used for KBG Syndrome?​

The data collected with this research will be presented as part of a grant application with the NIH (National Institute of Health.) It will also provide natural history data as we learn more about the progression of KBG Syndrome and how individuals are affected, possibly opening the doors to other forms of research and testing.
