Chromosome 4q duplication

What is the long-term outlook for people with chromosome 4q duplication?

The long-term outlook (prognosis) for people with a chromosome 4q duplication depends on the size and location of the duplication. This affects which specific genes are involved, and how many genes are duplicated. Some people with a 4q duplication may be born healthy and develop well, while others may be born with any of several types of birth defects that can lead to severe complications. Therefore, it is not possible to predict how one person will be affected. Additionally, people with the same 4q duplication (the same location and size) may be affected very differently - even within the same family.

People with questions about prognosis for themselves or family members are encouraged to speak with their doctors about how their signs and symptoms may affect their health and quality of life.
