The 11th Biennial International 22q11.2 Conference in Whistler, Canada, has come to a conclusion. Along with researchers and medical professionals from 16 countries (including Canada), staff from the Dalglish Family 22q Clinic and the Clinical Genetics Research Program (CGRP) from the Centre for Addition and Mental Health (CAMH) enjoyed great presentations and discussions.
