Genetic variations
occurring on the 18th Chromosome are rare.
Read more about the conditions, the research and the many activities that bring this vibrant, global
community together at the Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society.
In Australia
Our Chromosome 18 Community in Australia is coordinated by Marlene and Scott Brightwell. Marlene and Scott reside in Sydney with Erin, their daughter, a vibrant young woman born with a variation on the 18th chromosome. Marlene has been the driving force behind co ordinating events bringing those of us in Australia and New Zealand together to learn, share and celebrate all things Chromosome 18.
Marlene can be contacted via email at chromosome18@optusnet.com.au for membership, sponsorship and donations to our organisation.
