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.

My daughter was diagnosed at age 3 with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome and that day my life and hers changed. She has come so far in those 2 years and I'm so proud of her and proud to be her mother,
