SynGAP10 weekly 10 minute updates on SYNGAP1
Business:Non-Profit
SYNGAP1 is complex, we need to partner with our clinicians to improve care & get ready for repurposing. #S10e131
Three patient stories… with the same conclusion, we don’t know enough about this disease.
- VNS, very few meds. If that is appealing, look for the VNS parents. www.facebook.com/groups/syngap1vns/
- Little lady on Kepra finally getting a new drug.
- Big man getting really odd care, based on EEG
These kids are so complicated and the system is just not ready. We can help by supporting the studies I mentioned in #S10e128
1 - NEW!!! GLOBAL - Every english speaking caregiver on earth: Rochester survey, 15 minutes, online. https://redcap.link/NDDCaregiverSurvey
2 - GLOBAL - Multiple Languages - #SRFunded - Every caregiver of a patient 17 years or older: Andrade Adult Surveys. Ilakkiah.Chandran@uhn.ca

REPURPOSING
Also, repurposing is coming fast. 4PB is going into kids in the US and doctors in the Netherlands, Poland and Turkey are paying attention. We have a hit from Chow that we are validating. Rarebase validation is coming soon… The question is how and what to measure. The other question is cost, stay tuned here.
