Koolen-de Vries Syndrome Awareness Day is observed annually on July 17. The goal is to raise awareness for Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) and to bring people together across the globe to show support for those who are impacted by this rare genetic syndrome. Why the 17th? Because the microdeletion or the KANSL1 mutation is located on the chromosome 17.
