My 3 sons all have cognitive impairments and behavioural abnormalities. My 8 yr old son was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. My eldest son and myself have a chromosomal duplication on 17q12. I had an Acoustic neuroma removed 5 years ago. My question is, is there a connection between the 17q12 duplication and Acoustic neuromas or nf1/2? I m very concerned.
To now there is only research about 17q12 duplication associated with the incidence of breast cancer. We need more investigations.
