Recorded Session
Family Research Conference on April 11th
The FBXO31 Foundation was founded in response to the discovery of multiple patients identified with the same mutations in the FBXO31 gene with neuromotor symptoms resembling Cerebral Palsy. The patients identified to date carry the same variant in FBXO31 (p. Asp334Asn). The FBXO31 Foundation was formed to provide a community support network for patients with FBXO31 disorder and their families. The FBXO31 Foundation is working to find treatments for FBXO31 related cerebral palsy by raising awareness and identifying new patients to include in our patient registry for future drug screening efforts. Research is currently underway at Washington University in St. Louis to determine how changes in the FBXO31 gene impact the function of the neurons in the brain, neurological development and functioning in animal models.
