Description:

To drive research momentum, the SATB2 Gene Foundation Board is highly interested in research proposals that would create pilot data sufficient to support larger scale grant submissions to other funding sources.

The SATB2 Gene Foundation prioritizes the following areas in SAS research, based on high impact needs identified by a recent independent scientific analysis and caregiver input:

• Speech and Language
• Behavior
• Sleep
• Global Development Delays

Additional research priorities include projects on SATB2 function and expression, variations in clinical phenotypes, and symptomatic and/or curative therapeutic interventions. They support projects that gather foundational knowledge about SATB2 function, and also support projects that aim for tangible and immediate clinical applicability.
