Reverse Rett
The mission of the Rett Syndrome Research Trust (RSRT) is to encourage and support scientific research that will lead to effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for Rett syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that afflicts more than 350,000 girls and women around the world, including at least 16,000 in the U.S. The research that RSRT supports is informed by the fact that the symptoms of Rett Syndrome have been reversed in mouse models, proving that the condition is, in theory, curable. But a significant investment in the research is needed to translate a reversal in mice to a reversal in girls and women with Rett. To accomplish this, RSRT has recruited some of the most prominent scientists to the Rett Syndrome cause and has been instrumental in funding, at least in part, most of the seminal Rett research projects to date. Thus far, an investment of more than $26 million has resulted in numerous important discoveries that are moving us towards treatments and a reversal of symptoms.

There is now real hope of treatments and even a cure for RDEB and the Sohana Research Fund aims to help translate positive findings rapidly to the clinic. SRF is primarily investing in cell and gene therapy research and have just funded a world first gene therapy trial in adults.
