FOXG1 syndrome is a rare neurological genetic disorder.

Overview

FOXG1 syndrome is a rare neurological genetic disorder that greatly impacts brain development and typically causes epilepsy and a host of physical and cognitive disabilities. Most children with FOXG1 syndrome cannot walk or talk or take care of their basic needs. Mutations to the FOXG1 gene are mostly (de-novo) non-inherited. There are currently about 900 known people in the world diagnosed with FOXG1 syndrome. FOXG1 is a transcription factor gene that is linked to many related brain disorders.

FOXG1 holds the key to unlock brain disorders affecting millions, including autism, Alzheimer's, brain tumors and many more.

FOXG1 is an excellent candidate for gene therapy and biotech investment.
