It’s all about therapies. Precision Genetic and Repurposed.
Conferences are where we engage professional communities around SYNGAP1 & SRF.
- Last week I was at Milken Global. All diseases are talking about biomarkers & endpoints. https://milkeninstitute.org/events/global-conference-2024/program
- This week I was at the #Ultragenyx Bootcamp with our CSO

Repurposed therapies are just as important.
Review of repurposed drugs:
RAVICTI Rx- 10+ patients with Dr. Grinspan, not all but a few have had significant seizure reduction. I remain worried about cost and look to STXBP1 and SLC6A1 for guidance here.
NORTRIPTYLINE Rx - Has helped me, a handful of families are getting a Rx. I am hopeful that some researcher does an investigator led trial. But until then, ask your Neuro.
ACETYL-LEUCINE is a Nutraceutical - Update 1 has really been noticed and Update 2 will share a few potential mechanisms of action. Many are trying this drug from https://bit.ly/tanganil24 Encouraging… no, updating. Please share data with us if you are trying. We are collecting case studies for Update 3. Thank you to the team here.
