WHAT IS SYNGAP1?
SYNGAP1 is a rare neurological disorder that currently impacts nearly 350 known patients in the United States and 1,055 known patients globally. SYNGAP1 is caused by a mutation on the SYNGAP1 gene resulting in a lack of sufficient SynGAP protein critical for proper brain function. This deficit causes a spectrum of challenges including intellectual disability, epilepsy, autism, global developmental delay, severe speech and language disabilities, behavior disorders, and sleep disturbances.
