SETBP1 haploinsufficiency disorder (SETBP1-HD) is an ultra rare, genetic neurodevelopmental disorder. SETBP1-HD is caused by a loss-of-function change on one copy of the two copies of the SETBP1 gene. There are also some changes on one copy of the SETBP1 gene where we do not know how the SETBP1 function is impacted. For changes where […]
A NEW resource guide to help medical specialists, educators, families, and therapists to better understand SETBP1 haploinsufficiency disorder (SETBP1-HD) is NOW AVAILABLE! This resource guide takes the findings from the 2 recent SETBP1-HD publications (Speech and language deficits are central to SETBP1 haploinsufficiency disorder and
With the overwhelming SETBP1 community participation and completion of the first SETBP1 Speech and Language Study, resulting in a publication and soon-to-be-released SETBP1 Resource Guide, a new SETBP1 Speech and Language Study has kicked off. This study titled the Speech Tracker will monitor speech and language patterns from individuals with SETBP1 haploinsufficiency disorder over a […]
