CAPRIN1 Foundation

We are a UK based parent and research support group, conducting a study to learn more about CAPRIN1 and its genetic implications. Our goal is to better understand the phenotypic effects of this mutation and its variability by comparing individuals who have been identified as carriers through genetic testing. Alterations in the CAPRIN1 gene have recently been associated with a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, with affected individuals manifesting conditions including: – Language Impairment – Intellectual Disability – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – Seizures – Epilepsy and other non-neurological features.
Our Goals:

Spread Awareness: Educate the public about the role of CAPRIN1 in health and disease.

Encourage Genetic Testing: Help individuals consider genetic testing to determine if they are carriers of the CAPRIN1 mutation.

Support Research: Share the latest scientific findings and advancements.

Build Community: Connect individuals, families, and researchers who are affected or interested in CAPRIN1-related conditions.

How You Can Help:

Follow & Share: Help us reach more people by spreading the word.
