8p Registry & My Hero Initiative

Providers

While we are still learning how chromosome 8p rearrangements specifically affect individuals, we know that it impacts every cell in the body. Any symptoms or conditions should be managed using standard medical practices, just as they would be for any other patient. Providers should adhere to established guidelines when treating hearing conditions/symptoms in individuals with chromosome 8p rearrangements.

The following hearing conditions have been reported in individuals with chromosome 8p rearrangements, however, limited data makes it challenging to determine the exact relationship between these conditions and the chromosome 8p rearrangements:

Hearing Loss
Hearing Impairment
Ear Infections (Otitis media)

While the exact prevalence and impact are still being studied, providers should be aware of these potential issues and manage them according to standard clinical practice.

This visualization is powered by research sponsored by Project 8p and survey data collected from the Chromosome 8p Registry, representing insights from a total of 120 8p heroes. It is part of the soon-to-launch Insights Portal, designed to offer advanced tools for data analysis, access, and visualizations, accelerating research and discovery for chromosome 8p disorders.

Project 8p Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization with EIN 83-2545342. All contributions are deemed tax-deductible

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
Lead with knowledge from patients. Currently, there is no cure for 8p disorders, nor is there a standard course of treatment.

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

Raise transformative funding for pioneering scientific research into treatments for a complex, rare disease involving 250+ affected genes on the short arm of the 8 th chromosome (8p). Rearrangements of these genes causes significant abnormalities to the entire neurological system, thus all organs and functions of the body– with variance in cognitive functions, gross motor skills, social development and other challenges during infancy, and throughout life;
Empower a unified community of 8p patients and their families so they can have meaningful lives today; and
Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
