Why do we need your support? Because this is a race against time!
There is hope after all!
In 1999, the MECP2-gene was identified and scientists discovered that the genetic origin of Rett Syndrome is caused by various mutations within this specific gene.
Genetic studies on mice have proven that the situation could be reversed and the syndrome cured, symptom after symptom.
The mission we have defined for ourselves is: to support scientists in cracking the genetic code of this syndrome and trigger a redefinition of scientific research priorities and clinical studies on these girls.
Accelerating research means increasing the potential to help not only those 'Silent Angels', but also to gain a better understanding of how the brain develops; it could also be helpful in decoding other diseases such as autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and learning disabilities.
You can help finding the key to this gene!
By joining our efforts, we can allow those 'Angels' to break their silence!
