Since 2015, the Virtual 5K for 5P- has been an integral event to help raise awareness and funds for the Society. Every year we have hundreds of teams around the world who put on their 5K shirts and walk/run/bike in solidarity with those diagnosed with
5p- syndrome.

Speech & Language Development. There is no guarantee that your child will develop verbal speech. It is recommended that you begin sign language with your child as soon as possible. Learning how to communicate at a young age will assist in language development.

We often say that 5p- syndrome is a “spectrum” syndrome, meaning that those affected by the syndrome can by anywhere from severely to mildly affected. Each child is unique. Some of that is attributed to the fact that there are many different types and sizes of deletions!

Our mascot is C5 which we use in much of our materials and online. But did you know what he represents?

Thanks to the Australian support group for the original design. We replaced the middle with a heart globe to represent the world.

Most children with 5p- Syndrome have poor muscle tone when they are young. Other characteristics may include feeding difficulties, delays in walking, hyperactivity, scoliosis, and significant cognitive delays. Individuals with 5p- can anticipate a normal life expectancy.

[5p- Society @5pminus]

A majority of the diagnoses of 5p- syndrome are “de novo” or a spontaneous mutation of the 5th chromosome. There are no lifestyle factors to attribute to causing the mutation. Families are encouraged to seek genetic testing to rule out family history.
