CACNA1A Foundation
Sobre Nós
CACNA1A is a gene that is essential to brain function. It plays a key role in the communication between brain cells (neurons). A change, or variant, in the gene affects the brain’s electrical signals and can result in a variety of neurological disorders, including developmental delay, cognitive impairment, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, balance and coordination difficulties and severe stroke-like episodes called hemiplegic migraines. There are no CACNA1A-specific treatment options and no known cure – yet.
Founded in March 2020 by parents of children with CACNA1A-related disorders, the CACNA1A Foundation’s mission is to find specific treatment options and a cure for CACNA1A patients by building a collaborative network of patients, families, clinicians and scientists that will work together to raise awareness and accelerate the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of CACNA1A-linked diseases.
Our vision: A world free of the debilitating effects of CACNA1A-related disorders.
