Child Has Speech Language Disorder, Borderline Intellectual Functioning And Mood Disorder. Want Information On 12p12.1 Deletion

Hi, My daughter had a speech language disorder since she was 2. That' s the only thing treated since then with a teem of speech therapist, help at school with integrator teachers, adapted curricula,etc... We always thought that all the other things we notice in my daughter were related to her speech disorder and the broken family (Divorced parents with lots of conflict).
4 years ago (She was 9) I noticed that her behavior was changing a lot, tantrums and explosions of anger. We made test. She was diagnosed with Border line intellectual functioning and mood disorder. Recently they mention 12p12.1 deletion. Can you give me more info about this? Is this life threatening? Something else to be worried about? Is my daughter going to have a normal life in the future?
at the moment, behavioral treatment. Adapted curricula at school.
Thanks!
