Dr. Shprintzen lectured to the university audience about<br />
VCFS and the Jordanians were especially appreciative of his visit and<br />
the knowledge he shared. Currently VCFS and other microdeletion<br />
syndromes are not diagnosed in Irbid. However, the hospital and<br />
laboratory in Irbid are developing rapidly and with training of molecular<br />
scientists and clinicians, establishing screening for VCFS in<br />
Jordan is feasible.<br />
Continuing discussions between Dr. Shprintzen, CISPEO<br />
leaders, Israelis’ and Jordanians’ scientists are being held to make<br />
the necessary steps for establishing such a VCFS screening program<br />
in Irbid.<br />
