NCBRS Treatment Research Fund
Not All Superheroes Wear Capes.
Some Fight Their Battles at the Cellular Level.
Every day, children living with Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome (NCBRS) – and their families – show extraordinary strength. Your donation directly funds the global genetic research needed to target the SMARCA2 gene, and unlock life-changing treatments.
The Fiercest Battles Require the Strongest Science.
Behind every brave smile is a real-life fight against an ultra-rare, progressive genetic condition.
NCBRS is an exceptionally rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the SMARCA2 gene—which controls how DNA packages inside our cells-–affecting development across a child’s entire body. There are only around 300 confirmed cases worldwide. Because the disease is so rare, traditional pharmaceutical funding overlooks it.
That is where you come in.
Your Gift Drives Real Impact
🔬NCBRS Treatment Research Fund
Medical breakthroughs happen under microscopes. Your support directly funds programs like:
- Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line modeling at University College London
- Mouse models through JAX laboratory (via NCBRS Worldwide Foundation below)
- Epigenetic research at Johns Hopkins Kennedy Krieger Institute.
Prefer to support families in a different way? You could also donate to patient registries and family connections with the NCBRS Worldwide Foundation.
For information about donating via a gift of stock, contact Michelle Painter at 302-504-5227. If you’d like to make a grant from your DAF to the NCBRS Treatment Research fund, contact Cassie DiSabatino at 302-504-5230.
