How Common is CHD2?
CHD2 is a rare disease with less than 500 known cases world-wide. The numbers are changing daily.
Join Coalition to Cure for our inaugural family and scientific conference on June 2nd - 4th, 2023 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida! CHD2 families and researchers from across the globe will come together for this two day event to learn about the latest developments and research in CHD2.
Getting Tested
How to Get Diagnosed
Getting diagnosed for CHD2 typically involves a combination of genetic testing, a review of medical history, a physical examination, a neurological examination, imaging studies and EEGs to support the diagnosis and understand the effects of the mutation. A blood sample is taken for genetic analysis to confirm the presence of a CHD2 mutation. It is important to note that the diagnosis can only be confirmed through genetic testing.
A pathogenic variant in the CHD2 gene is identified by genetic testing.
