Prevent Rare Genetic Diseases
Find a Cure for Batten disease
There are hundreds of rare, so-called “orphan” diseases like Batten disease. Beyond Batten Disease Foundation is working to develop one easy and inexpensive blood test to detect the gene mutations for hundreds of rare autosomal recessive diseases. The science is possible today, and with your support, the test will become a standard of care for all young women.
Research for Batten disease is currently ongoing at prominent institutions in the U.S. and abroad, yet it is severely underfunded. Beyond Batten Disease Foundation is working to raise money and to build a collaborative network of researchers to accelerate the development of treatments, and one day, find a cure for Batten disease.
