Why?

STXBP1 Disorder is a rare developmental and epilepsy disorder caused by mutations in the STXBP1 gene. The STXBP1 gene is located on chromosome 9. Changes to the STXBP1 gene impacts communication in the brain. Key symptoms include epilepsy, global developmental delay, cognitive impairment, autism, and movement disorders. Move to Cure event registrations and donations fund critical research to accelerate the development of therapies and treatments...and one day a cure!
