The result is an epileptic seizure.<\/p><p>There are many different types of seizure. What happens to someone during a seizure depends on which part of their brain is affected, and how far the seizure activity spreads. During some types of seizure the person may remain alert and aware of what\u2019s going on around them, and with other types they may lose awareness. They may have unusual sensations, feelings or movements.

Due to the ring formation of the chromosome, r(20) syndrome is also classed as a complex Copy Number Variant (CNV) alongside diseases with rings on other pairs of the 23 <span class='tooltipsall tooltipsincontent classtoolTips0'>Chromosomes<\/span>. Complex CNV&#8217;s are much harder to research than single gene mutations where a specific pathogenic (disease causing) gene can be targeted for treatment.<\/p><p>We know that people with r(20) syndrome share a chromosomal anomaly, with one of each pair of the 20th chromosome formed in a ring shape in some of all of the cells in their body. Some people with r(20) syndrome (mostly those who are non-mosaic, with rings in 100% of their cells) have a detectable variant in their chromosome, with a piece of genetic material missing, but the deleted piece of DNA is not the same for everyone. Also a few people who have mosaic r(20) syndrome also have a detectable deletion in their DNA, but most don&#8217;t have any detectable deletions. Yet, everyone with a diagnosis of\u00a0 r(20) syndrome shares similar symptoms particularly the more unusual hallucinogenic seizures and prolonged bouts of confusion (NSCE) &#8211; albeit across quite a broad spectrum.<\/p><p>What we don&#8217;t yet know is why the two ends of chromosome 20 stick together to form the ring shape and why the ring causes seizures and other symptoms (cognitive decline and behaviour disorder). If we can find the answers to these questions, then perhaps we might find clues as to what more targeted and potentially more successful treatment options might look like in the future.<\/p><p><!--
