Leading the Charge for a Cure

STXBP1 Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for STXBP1-related Disorders while improving the lives of our patients and families. Founded in 2017, STXBP1 Foundation is a parent-led advocacy organization. STXBP1 Disorder is a rare epileptic and neurodevelopmental disorder caused by changes in the STXBP1 gene.
