MSL3 Syndrome Day - MSL3 Syndrome Foundation

Every year on May 3rd, we celebrate MSL3 Syndrome Day. It’s a special day to spread awareness of this rare disorder, fundraise for our cause and cheer on the remarkable MSL3 community.

Why Spread Awareness?

MSL3 Syndrome is incredibly rare — so rare that there are only around 50 known cases in the entire world. And spreading awareness for MSL3 Syndrome is crucial to helping families navigating this challenging disorder.

Through the simple act of spreading the word and chipping in a few dollars, our community can access more of what it needs to find support, answers and ultimately treatments.

There are children and adults without a diagnosis, many of whom may have already done extensive genetic testing with no matches. Reanalysis through whole exome sequencing (WES) could give them their answer, but only if more people know about it.

Through awareness, more primary care doctors will be able to help with early diagnosis and direct families down the correct avenues.

More geneticists will show interest in MSL3 Syndrome, taking the burden off of the families to be experts in the disease.

New research studies on the syndrome spurred by growing awareness can help families learn more about the syndrome, what to expect and potential treatments.

With more research and diagnoses as a result of awareness efforts, we’ll be able to document more of the diseases associated with MSL3 Syndrome to test for and monitor these diseases within current and future patients.

Join Us on May 3, 2022

We hope you’ll join us on May 3, 2022, to celebrate, champion and support our MSL3 Syndrome families and friends. Throughout the day, we’ll share stories from those affected and rally efforts to spread awareness and raise funds for this unique and deserving community.
