SYNGAP1 is caused by changes (mutations) on the SYNGAP1 gene. People who live with the mutation have moderate to severe intellectual disability and in some cases epilepsy and ASD. Your support will help us investigate and learn more about the SYNGAP1 gene mutation with the long term goal of developing strategies to test new therapies for treatment.

Research at the Patrick Wild Centre is multidisciplinary. We promote collaborations between experts in neuroscience, psychiatry, molecular medicine, and psychology. Together, we are working towards a better understanding of autism, fragile X syndrome, SYNGAP1, and intellectual disabilities, from the neural level to cognitive abilities and lived experiences.

Your donation will directly support this important research. Thank you.
