Families in Mexico

Behind every act of support is a story, a smile, and a family.

We stand alongside children and young people living with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, and their families, through medical, rehabilitation, and everyday needs.

Patient dataNatural history and registriesStudies bring together genetic, clinical, biochemical, and quality-of-life data to understand how the condition progresses and prepare for future trials.

Preclinical stageGene therapy and gene editingResearchers are studying ways to restore HPRT1 function through vectors and genetic correction. These approaches remain experimental and are not available treatments.

Human modelsStem cells and compound screeningNeurons derived from pluripotent stem cells help researchers study HPRT deficiency and assess candidate compounds in the laboratory.

InnovationTissue chips and biomarkersTissue models and sample analysis help researchers investigate disease mechanisms, treatment responses, and measurable signals.
