Story
Cure CLCN4 was set up with the goal of advancing the much-needed basic science and translational research in CLCN4 condition. It is built on the foundation of hope and commitment, that one day there would be a cure for Daphne and children like her - Gina & Peter, founders of Cure CLCN4
The journey of finding effective treatments for CLCN4 starts with scientific research, but like a carpenter can't build without a hammer, a scientist can't do research without a model. That's why, this year, our aim is to generate the first CLCN4 disease model.
So, what is a CLCN4 disease model and why is it important?
A CLCN4 disease model is an organism or cellular model with CLCN4 condition. It helps scientists learn about:
- The function of CLCN4 in the brain.
- How a 'glitch' in the CLCN4 gene leads to symptoms such as epilepsy, and intellectual disability.
- How we might be able to treat CLCN4 to improve quality of life, health and outlook.
A CLCN4 disease model is the first step towards improving the lives of those affected by CLCN4 but we need your help to make this happen!
If you can, please donate to or fundraise for Cure CLCN4. Any size donation will make a difference in helping us reach our goal and, if we surpass our fundraising goal, we will put the extra funding towards our other scientific projects! The more we raise the faster we can go. So please share, donate and fundraise today.
