What is Pitt Hopkins?
Pitt Hopkins is a rare and severe neuro-developmental
disorder caused by a mutation of the TCF4 gene on the 18th chromosome. It is
characterized by profound developmental delays, problems with motor coordination
(ataxia) and balance, breathing abnormalities, seizures and severe intellectual
disability. Most individuals with Pitt Hopkins do not develop functional speech.
Pitt Hopkins affects all races and both genders equally.
Since the gene
that causes Pitt Hopkins was only found in 2007, currently there are less than
350 children in the world diagnosed with this syndrome, however we believe there
are many more.
OUR RESEARCH
Every
cent raised from the sale of these shirts will go directly to research- and this
research is truly cutting edge. If you know anyone with ALS, Alzheimer's or
Autism, then this is of interest because single gene disorders like Pitt Hopkins
(where the cause has been identified) is one of science's best hopes for finding
treatment for other genetic disorders. This research affects us
all.
