It’s all about therapies. Precision Genetic and Repurposed.

- This week I was at the #Ultragenyx Bootcamp with our CSO
https://www.ultragenyx.com/video-this-bootcamp-helps-parents-advance-rare-disease-research/ So good to see Kathryn energized by this role.

Repurposed therapies are just as important.
Cost effective. Globally available.
They are here now. We must act, the suffering is immense.
They show us what is improvable and therefore inform clinical trial design.
They are not compromising other trials. And to even suggest that is unethical if it suggests people should hold off on helping patients. How about we just diagnose more kids? Or think harder about which kids go to which trials?
Precision Genetic Therapies are going to be more effective than repurposed drugs, people will happily participate in trials.
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.

Look at all these families that raise a quarter million dollars via #Sprint4Syngap
2024 syngap.fund/sprint24 - https://givebutter.com/ALjJXJ
- $243k, 844 donors
- Kaia’s event was wonderful https://curesyngap1.org/syngap-warriors/kaia/ - Reef’s family also found connection by helping SRF, video coming soon.
Conferences are where we engage professional communities around SYNGAP1 & SRF.
- Last week Vicky was at WODC. https://www.terrapinn.com/conference/world-orphan-drug-congress-usa/ - This week Heather Mestemaker was at the GG DDC. https://globalgenes.org/event/rare-disease-drug-development/
- Next week I’ll be at Milken Global, it takes a team. https://milkeninstitute.org/events/global-conference-2024/program
It takes a village.
We need to support efforts to help our kids and accept that the system will always fall short, the need for a strong SRF will only grow. The more we unify, the faster it grows.
v1 Drugs - Data - Biomarkers & Endpoints
v2 now we add Improve Clinical Care (NHS Expansion & Repurposing) - Build a sustainable organization.

What does my genetic report mean?
We wrote a blog, but as I’ve had this conversation a few dozen times, my answer is simpler now. Is it missense or is it truncating? If missense, do more research, if truncating, it is in the first 4 exons (p. Address of 129 or lower).
Who else has it? Look on ClinVar and call SRF.
