Celebrate World SKDEAS Day – July 6!
World SKDEAS Day is a moment to celebrate our growing global community and raise awareness of Skraban-Deardorff Syndrome. Whether you're celebrating at home or traveling this summer, we’d love to see where you are in the world!
As part of World SKDEAS Day, we’re highlighting the first published article that introduced Skraban-Deardorff Syndrome to the medical community. This 2017 study, available through the National Institutes of Health, laid the foundation for understanding the condition by documenting its key features and genetic basis. You can read the full article here: Skraban-Deardorff Syndrome – 2017 Study (NIH).
