Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS) is a relatively new genetic disorder only first being identified in 2013. The full spectrum of SYS features still need to be defined and while we know a disruption of the Magel2 gene results in SYS, we are not year clear on HOW this disruption leads to the characteristics of SYS. In order to advance SYS research, we need to better understand the role of Magel2 at the cellular level, develop key resource tools, such as cellular and animal models for pre-clinical studies, and better define the natural history of SYS.
We need your help! Join us in our mission to find treatments, and a cure, for Schaaf-Yang syndrome!
