Myhre Syndrome Foundation

Myhre Syndrome Foundation is a patient advocacy organization dedicated to providing hope and improving the lives of those impacted by Myhre syndrome. Myhre Syndrome is a rare genetic disease first described by Dr. Selma A. Myhre, an American pediatrician, in 1981. There are less than 200 confirmed cases of Myhre syndrome worldwide and true numbers are unknown. We hear of new cases each year as awareness grows. We foster collaboration among all relevant stakeholders to build a strong, global community in order to advance research, as well as support, educate and advocate for those impacted by Myhre syndrome.
