SCN2A Warrior Riders

Not as rare as we once thought, SCN2A-related disorders affect approximately 1/10,000 people worldwide.  Over the past five years, SCN2A related disorders have been identified as the leading monogenic cause of neurodevelopmental disorders.  Infantile seizures, autism, developmental and intellectual disabilities are the classic symptoms, however, most patients suffer from a myriad of comorbidities such as movement disorders, GI and feeding difficulties, visual impairment, and hypotonia. There is a spectrum of severity, but no matter what end the patient falls on, they live a life of dependency on others.  We need a cure and our children are counting on us to find one.

The field of precision medicine, gene therapies, and curing the uncurbable is progressing fast.  We want to be ready and so we are funding critical research that will position us as an attractive target for drug development companies.

Please help us help our children by participating in the Million Dollar Bike Ride.  With the Orphan Disease Center's match of $30,000, we can make a HUGE impact on research.  Please join us in riding for a cure!
