BONES – This is not medical advice, I am not a doctor. Talk to a doctor AND know your facts.
https://curesyngap1.org/blog/navigating-a-lifetime-of-diagnoses-michaels-syngap1-journey-and-the-effects-of-anti-seizure-medications-on-bone-density/
Valproate is the active Ion, it comes from Valproic Acid (Depakene), Sodium Valproate or Divalproex Sodium (Depakote). They all cause bone loss by stoping stomach from absorbing, then robbing bones, then flushing out. More and longer is worse. Vitamin D and Calcium can help but they need to start early and it’s better to just find another drug. Also insurance likes it because it’s cheap and old – demand better.
“Valproic acid and clobazam were commonly used for epilepsy treatment, while risperidone, aripiprazole, and guanfacine were commonly used for behavior management. Valproate and lamotrigine were more effective at reducing seizure frequencies or maintaining seizure freedom than other anti-seizure medications.” Clinical signatures of SYNGAP1-related disorders through data integration https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12419475/

CURE SYNGAP1 STRATEGY WORKING
Our strategy has always been to derisk SYNGAP1 so that industry will invest and bring their skill and capital to bear. We leverage donor dollars to maximize impact. Yesterday was a great example:
EARNINGS REPORTS
CAMP4 1Q26 Results: $99M https://investors.camp4tx.com/news-releases/news-release-details/camp4-reports-first-quarter-2026-financial-results-and-corporate
We submitted our first regulatory filing for CMP-002 in Australia which positions us to initiate a global first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the second half of 2026.
Stoke 1Q26 Results: $411M https://investor.stoketherapeutics.com/news-releases/news-release-details/stoke-therapeutics-announces-first-quarter-2026-financial
Lead optimization is underway to identify a clinical candidate for the treatment of SYNGAP1 in 2026. SYNGAP1 is a severe and rare genetic neurodevelopmental disease.
Praxis 1Q26 Results: $1.4B https://investors.praxismedicines.com/news-releases/news-release-details/praxis-precision-medicines-provides-corporate-update-and-19
Praxis remains on track to nominate a development candidate for each of its three early stage ASO therapeutic initiatives in the first half of 2026: PRAX-090 is designed to address SYNGAP1 loss-of-function (LoF) mutations, a leading cause of severe intellectual disability and epilepsy in DEEs.

Show your support here: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2026-P-3666-0001
Paragraph 1 – Share information about you and SYNGAP1.
Paragraph 2 – Seizures are hard to count while X, Y and Z are major burdens but FDA wants nice countable seizures, this makes it hard to develop drugs.
Paragraph 3 – How could “clinically meaningful” endpoints potentially help your community and drug developers? How could a study design other than a ‘randomized clinical trial’ help? How could FDA consulting with disease-specific experts help?
Closing – Finish your letter with anything along these lines: We support the framework for all rare set diseases in Haystack’s petition. We don’t believe FDA has to lower the evidentiary bar to approve treatments for our diseases. Randomization isn’t always possible. New scientific methods should be considered. Endpoints specific to our disease should be considered. We urge FDA to open a rulemaking so we can have a legally binding regulation.
Board changes, thank you to everyone. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/curesyngap1_curesyngap1-syngap1-patientadvocacy-activity-7450528611339616256-4MJF?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAD8f4B7JC4TMss45Q8hrsq5kiceI0Z8HE

Friday, April 3, 2026 - Week 14
Just back from the DSC-III Kickoff Meeting! As announced back in September 2025. Really strong group of clinicians.
https://dsc.rarediseasesnetwork.org/patient-advocacy-groups
More on DSC in #S10e184 https://curesyngap1.org/podcasts/syngap10/dsc-rdcrn-ncats-nih-press-aav-in-cell-srf-at-cb-scramble-for-syngap1-s10e184/
We will have sites at SYNGAP1 established doctors, Dr. Wiltrout at Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard, Dr. Holder at Baylor and our very own ProMMiS Doctors: Knowles at Stanford / Dr. Abbott at Colorado. AND, excitingly, these two new locations:
Rush University Medical Center (Rush) led by Dr. Dr. Liz Berry-Kravis.
University of Alabama at Birmingham led by Dr. Martina Bebin.
Interestingly we are paired with PMS aka SHANK3 so the comparisons will naturally arise. Both post-synaptic, they are a half step ahead of us. (We will catch up!) SHANK3 and SYNGAP1 have lots in commons: PSD, Synaptic Plasticity, mTOR. Differences, we have more epilepsy, they have more Catatonia (see Table 2 in Trelles 2026 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41895438/).
After that I met with Dr. Xin Tang from BCH who is working on some exciting potential therapies and then over to CAMP4, who is moving at light speed.
ILAE Rare Epilepsy Big Data Task Force for 4 years! Makes me think about data…

Friday, January 9, 2026 - Week 2
Big news in SYNGAP-land, Becky Quick and Matt Quayle have a beautiful SynGAPian named Kaylie & they are launching CNBC Cures!
Wonderful to have more awareness of SYNGAP1, I hope it leads to more diagnoses.
My two favorite quotes from the episode and podcast: “There is no Mission without Money”-BQ & “She has reset our whole life plan…one day I’m going to be gone and is Kaylie going to be ok?”-MQ
Here is our page with all the links! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/curesyngap1_syngap1-curesyngap1-cnbccures-activity-7415094066675216387-32wF

It's important for us all to remember that it can take time to find our voice. And then use it.
Speaking of using our voice, what can you say? We worked yesterday on Key Talking points which will live here and I will talk about them in the next episode. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lXaDQEVwF1K_yAU-RicaJibxb8xoJtldSvnVgopwu00/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 194 of #Syngap10 #CureSYNGAP1 #Podcast
Friday, January 2, 2026 - Week 1
From the Cantor Report on CAMP4
The Stockdale Paradox. The best way to succinctly describe CAMP4 and the parties driving progress in this field (Cure SYNGAP1, families, researchers) is, for anyone familiar with Jim Collins' book "Good to Great," they have fully embraced the "Stockdale Paradox": To succeed in difficult circumstances you must 1) confront the brutal facts (severity of the disorder, devastating
impact on patients and families, lack of treatment) while 2) maintaining unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end. It gives us conviction that there WILL be a therapy approved for SYNGAP sooner than later and CAMP is most likely to deliver it.
Read more on Jim Collins site:
https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/Stockdale-Concept.html
This is exactly what SYNGAP1 Argentina achieved at our conference. Acting with certainty that they can and will prevail.

PUBMED is at 59 for the year, that is +4 over our best year, last year. 177 since 2022, almost half of our SYNGAP1 Knowledge (366) has been created in the past 4 years!

Episode 189 of #Syngap10 #CureSYNGAP1
Sunday, November 9, 2025. Week 46.
End of year campaign: UNLOCK THEIR TOMORROW, curesyngap1.org/unlock
Why now? UNLOCK It’s giving season. Count our blessings and share what we have. CS1 has moved mountains this year: Staff, ProMMiS, etc. But we are just starting…
Every single family should give and should solicit their friends. Yes, it’s a tough time. Yes, people have other causes. No (most of) your friends don’t have a SynGAPian.
Miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. And remember, donors learn about what they give to, so even small donations cause huge changes in awareness.
Go to our Champions page: https://curesyngap1.org/champions-of-hope/
Tony, Myla, Hattie, Jansen, Kai, Sophia, Kaylie, Gracie are at $50k+. Eight families. It’s only five at $100k+. I think we can do better. I also think we should have more participation at every level, we can’t lean on a handful of families to carry this organization.
These families get something key: CURE SYNGAP1 is in it for the long run, unlike EVERYONE ELSE you are supporting. Great that you are doing schools, horses, girl scouts, etc, but the only people asking you for money right now that are going to be fighting for your kid in 5, 10, or 50 years, is CURE SYNGAP1. The only group who won’t kick your family/loved one out of our community when your SynGAPian bites one of our staff or elopes from a meeting across streets. Also us. The people who understand SYNGAP1 the best. Right here.
Technicals, we could not make this easier!
Take 5 minutes to build your own fundraiser or simply email friends/family/co-workers/church associates/other kids’ sports team parents/etc. It’s uncomfortable but essential.
It’s so darn easy to give -
💻 ONLINE @ CURESYNGAP1.ORG/UNLOCK Use Credit Card, PayPal, Venmo, Google & Apple
📱 PHONE - Text UNLOCK to 71777, then follow the instructions.
📬 MAIL A CHECK CURE SYNGAP1, PO Box 515734 Los Angeles, CA 90051-5150
Two more questions:
?1: Aren’t we done now with CAMP4? No. Three reasons: Clock, Count, unknowns.
Clinical research. Behavioral interventions. Optimal medications. Missense research. Patient discovery. Drug repurposing. Family support. Global coordination.
?2: Our name is a demand: CURE SYNGAP1, and we are not there yet. SRF suggested that funding science was enough, boy were we wrong.
We need patients to be Support. Educate. Activate. Coordinate. I discussed the many ways a PAG matters in #S10e181. (I missed data & should have clinical separate, will redo.) https://curesyngap1.org/podcasts/syngap10/patient-advocacy-groups-matter-party-friday-syngap1conf-soon-elopement-s10e181/
Every single family needs to help us raise funds. Every single one.

5 Conclusion
Syndrome-specific ICD-10 codes for monogenic epilepsies are markedly underutilized, even for patients with confirmed molecular diagnoses and established clinical syndromes. In our cohort, fewer than two-thirds of eligible patients were ever documented with their syndrome-specific ICD-10 code, and when used, these codes were applied inconsistently across encounters, specialties, and time. Such gaps hinder the reliable identification of patients for precision therapies, clinical trials, and research studies, limiting the intended value of these codes. Although uptake of syndrome-specific ICD-10 codes showed gradual improvement over time, additional efforts, including automated and patient-driven coding support and integration of structured genetic data, are needed to ensure accurate and consistent use. Broader, multi-institutional studies will be essential to validate these findings and to guide strategies that maximize the clinical and research utility of syndrome-specific ICD codes as precision medicine advances.

In #S10e182 I told you about CAMP4, don’t miss that, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ0Oj-Zz-B0 Sharing research comments from William Blair & Wedbush
William Blair Initiation of Coverage: “Among several quality investors, the private placement included the Syngap Research Fund, which is active in the Syngap1 patient community and will be an important resource in aiding patient identification and enrollment in the Phase 1/2 trial in our view.”
Wedbush
Ph1/2 Will Likely Begin From Ex-U.S., Aiming for Early Intervention. Citing precedents of other intrathecally delivered antisense oligonucleotide programs for CNS indications, where the FDA oftentimes required sponsors to begin at a dose level well below the efficacious dose, CAMP plans to begin patient dosing outside the U.S. for the potential to go directly to doses that are expected to show efficacy. The selection of patient age range will depend on regulatory discussions, and management highlighted the impact of the disease on neurodevelopment, so early intervention could allow patients to have a better opportunity to achieve as normal as possible development.
CAMP Will Have Access to Natural History Data being Collected by SRF and CHOP. According to management, a natural history study is being conducted by SynGAP Research Fund (SRF), which also participated in the private placement, in collaboration with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and CAMP will have access to data as well as patients for future clinical study enrollment.

Now for hard questions:
When is the trial? 2H26 Less than a year from now. With this financing, I am sure of it.
As I write this, the $CAMP stock closed up $0.80 or +40%. Which is solid. The market is starting to agree with the wise investors and SRF!

The full results of the open label extension (OLE) of the Phase 1b/2a PACIFIC trial investigating bexicaserin for the treatment of patients with Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs), will be presented for the first time at the International Epilepsy Annual Congress
Bexicaserin, which has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA, demonstrated reductions in countable and total motor seizure frequency in the extension study comparable to reductions seen in the Phase 1b/2a PACIFIC trial, reinforcing durability of response and validating its progression to Phase 3 trials.
Additional data will be presented from the audiogenic seizure model and the GAERS absence epilepsy model, investigating sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), and seizure reduction respectively.
During the OLE, a median reduction of 59.3% in countable motor seizure frequency was observed, with 55% of participants experiencing reductions of ≥50% compared to the baseline before the PACIFIC trial.

Tony (11, M) Story. Now we sleep with the alarm on every night.
Elopement:
Virginie (10, M) Stories and Service Dog.
Single Mom (9, M) heading to the judge and calls me asking for papers. Here you go…
Let’s note that Elopement was masked behind broader buckets and I think this is a miss. We need to name and discuss this very challenging behavior.
FB Survey. 4 hours. 100+ votes, 100 comments. https://www.facebook.com/groups/syngap/posts/1734514154096968/
76% of respondents eloped (35% F, 41% M)
24% didn’t (17% F, 7% M)
Frazier, 2025. Extremely High finding as a Symptom of SYNGAP1. See Table 2 of Quantifying neurobehavioral profiles across neurodevelopmental genetic syndromes and idiopathic neurodevelopmental disorders
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dmcn.16112
McKee, 2025. Notes the significantly heightened enrichment of Autistic Behavior and Behavioral Abnormality vs. Rett, Angelman or Epilepsy cohorts. See Figure 2B of Clinical signatures of SYNGAP1-related disorders through data integration.
https://www.gimjournal.org/article/S1098-3600(25)00066-8/abstract
Cunnanne, notes impulsivity (which is a euphemism for elopement if I have ever heard one) and has three quotes in Table 1 (see below), but also notes in Figure 2 that both ASD and lack of danger awareness came up in almost every interview. See SYNGAP1-Related Intellectual Disability: Meaningful Clinical Outcomes and Development of a Disease Concept Model Draft. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5098346
Impulsivity quotes:
Runs toward streets - “He wouldn't stop himself from running into the road. He climbs things in that house that you're
like‘oh my god, how are you going to get out of that?’”
Jumps into pools - “He would walk into a pond. We were at the pool the other day…and he
just walked off the edge and just fell into the water and was like… he would have just drowned.”
Runs toward crowds - “She was a bolter. So that was always scary. We had a few scares where you look away for a
moment, I mean, we always had somebody with her, but it could be a moment's time and it's like
where'd you go, you thought she was right there.”

Episode 177 of #Syngap10
Wed July 30, 2025
Audience: Any family with a DEE who has a kid who has seizures, yes SYNGAP1 is a DEE and you are always my first audience.
See #S10e133 if you are curious about DEE vs other names. https://curesyngap1.org/podcasts/syngap10/what-is-this-syngap1-illness-disease-syndrome-ndd-dee-mrd5-nsid-actually-called-s10e133/
Action: If your kid has motor seizures, fill out the screener and join this amazing study.
Link here: https://www.resiliencestudies.com/emerald
A motor seizure is a seizure where you can see something moving – including head drops, drops, convulsive, etc. – only excluded seizures are absence, myoclonia and infantile spasms. You don’t need to figure this out, just fill in the screener, let the doctors figure it out.
Questions: Come to live webinar tomorrow, it will not be recorded, so you have to come register here:
https://curesyngap1.org/resources/webinars/webinar-111-introduction-to-praxiss-emerald-study-for-syngap1-patients/
TRIAL.
Any DEE patient with 4 motor seizures a month, minimum.
Age 2-65. Adults are you listening?
24 weeks (6 months) weeks, placebo controlled but everyone will get drug at some point in the trial.
28 weeks (7 months) week OLE, with a chance for expanded access, so if it works, you can stay on.
Fully decentralized, you don’t have to go to a site if you don’t want to.
One US site open so far in Bethesda, there will be others. Int’l sites in 2026. US ENROLLING NOW.
DRUG.
Lots of science and big words in the links below, but here is what you need to know as a parent.
PRAXIS.
Serious people, lots of work on Epilepsy. Connected to SYNGAP1 and DEEs, just need to move faster on SYNGAP1 ASO!

We care because we haven’t done this before, heal those born with disease.
Natural history studies, which examine the progression of a disease over time, can be either retrospective or prospective. Retrospective studies analyze existing data, like medical records, while prospective studies collect new data over time. Both types are valuable for understanding a disease's course and informing research and treatment strategies.
NHS are critical for clinical trial design. Size and Quality matter. Validated scales are better than PROs regardless of what the current rhetoric is.
USA - https://curesyngap1.org/resources/studies/syngap1-ProMMiS/ - 135+ over three sites, some with FOUR visits, and counting - Adding GCP - Collaborating with world class institutions and excellent clinicians at Stanford, Children’s Colorado and, of course, CHOP.
USA - https://Citizen.Health/partners/srf has almost 300 patients! Retrospective Health Data.
USA - https://rare-x.org/syngap1/ is where we collect PROs.
Australia - Dr. Sheffer is running a study, talk to her or Dani.
Latin America - SYNGAP1 Argentina with others joining.
Europe - https://www.patre.info/syngap1/
SYNGAP1 is well positioned to work with… Vlasskamp and Wiltrout are published, Citizen Health is growing & ProMMiS is truly exceptional – and growing, and Rare-X is collecting eight key PROs. Additionally, there are significant international efforts in Australia, Latin America & Europe.
Census: https://curesyngap1.org/blog/syngap1-census-2025-update-55-in-q2-2025-total-1636/
If you are in industry and thinking about starting another NHS for your asset, please don't. Please instead partner with existing PAGs and NHS studies in your key geographies to move faster, have bigger N and not waste precious patients time, we need to accelerate drug development not slow it down by diluting patients and clinicians between too many studies.

NICOLE’S POST
I hate Autism Awareness Month. It stirs up so many emotions- anger, grief, and frustration for everything autism has taken from my son.
Dear Syngap,
It’s me again. You’d think after all this time, we’d have some kind of understanding. But we don’t. We never will. You barged into our lives uninvited, turned our world upside down, and refused to leave. You’ve taught me lessons I never asked for, dragged us down roads we never wanted to travel. You’ve humbled me, broken me, enraged me.
I’ve cried because of you. Screamed into the silence. Begged the universe for answers it refuses to give. I’ve celebrated victories that should have been simple, ordinary things—but with you lurking in the shadows, nothing is ever simple. If I’m being honest, I hate you. I hate what you’ve done to my son. I hate that you’ve taken things from him that should have been his without question—his voice, his strength, his ease of movement, his peace.
One day, he climbs like he was born to conquer mountains. The next, he struggles to take a step. You’re a thief, Syngap. You steal his vision, rob him of his muscle tone, drain his energy until even smiling feels like work. You wrap yourself around his body, his mind, his very existence, and no matter how hard I fight, you never let go.
You make him miserable. And I hate you for it.
You turn his nights into a battlefield, his sleep stolen by seizures, restlessness, and the chaos you planted in his brain. You keep his words locked inside, hidden in a place I can’t reach. And God, how I wish I could reach them. How I wish I could hear his thoughts, understand the words he wants so badly to say. Instead, I watch. I listen. I hold him when the frustration turns to tears, when his body betrays him, when he fights a battle most will never see.
People don’t see what I see. They don’t hear the cries in the middle of the night or witness the exhaustion in his body. They don’t see the war raging inside him. And me? I’ve been called crazy, overprotective, dramatic. But I don’t care. I’ll wear those labels like armor. Because as long as my son is fighting, I will fight harder.
You tried to take so much from us. You tried to steal my marriage, tried to break my family apart, tried to strip away our joy. You’ve knocked us down, over and over again. But listen to me, Syngap: you will never have us.
And here’s the strangest thing. For all the hell you’ve put us through, you’ve also given me things I never expected. You’ve made me stronger than I ever thought possible. You’ve forced me to fight with a fierceness I didn’t know I had. You’ve shown me how to love deeper, to celebrate what others overlook, to appreciate moments most take for granted.
You take and you take—but somehow, you also build. You break, yet somehow, you make us unbreakable.
But hear me loud and clear: you don’t win.
Tomorrow, my son will wake up, and despite you, he will rise. He will smile. He will fight. He will accomplish things you never thought he could. And I? I’ll be there, standing beside him, fighting for him, daring you to try and stop us.
You don’t get the final say, Syngap. Not today. Not ever.
My son is more than you. And you have underestimated his mother.
Sincerely,
A Syngap Momma

“Dear Families,
This is a brief update on the Communication abilities in Children with Genetic Conditions study.
The Communication abilities in Children with Genetic Conditions study collected parent-reported data on communication ability from 113 families and direct speech and language data from 33 children. Data collection has now closed and research reports are in preparation for the three most successfully recruited conditions; KBG syndrome, SYNGAP1-related disorder, and differences in MED13L. While the study was initially open to a wider group of single-gene conditions, it was only possible to recruit full data sets and large enough samples to produce high quality research reports for these three conditions. While not all of the data collected from families will be included in the research publications, all of the data provided by families has been extremely valuable to the study. Where permission has been given, anonymised data will serve as valuable pilot data to support future funding applications for research on relevant gene conditions.
We thank all families for their valued time and participation in the project. Further updates will share our research reports as they become available.
With best wishes,
Harriet and the Communication abilities in Children with Genetic Conditions study team.”

Email: Ilakkiah.Chandran@uhn.ca about this study!
Languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch across the sites in Canada and Netherlands.
All our kids will turn into adults and if you think people don’t understand our kids, wait till they turn into adults! It’s worse. There are less doctors who think in terms of genetic etiology (cause), which makes the literature so much more important. BTW, soon we will have treated and untreated!
Dr. Andrade and her team are the best in the world. Dravet/SCN1A is “the one”
Dr. Andrade has written multiple papers on Dravet and is the world leading expert on monogenic NDDs in adults…
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33677403/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28186331/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22780858/
She’s even looking around corners… https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40034086/
We have already been given a remarkable paper on SYNGAP1 in adults, but with a very low N=14: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38045990/. Dr. A presented the related data at SRF Conf 2022. https://youtu.be/mRlCA816Af8
CHD2 has one now as well: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39601014/
So there are 9,997 other genes of which at most 100 have decent PAGs which all would love Dr. Andrade and her team to do the same. So… this is our moment.
Please let us know how we can help you to finish these questionnaires: info@cureSYNGAP1.org

ASO Update: Trials need heterogenous populations. At first, I expect we will be looking for PTVs beyond the first 3 or 4 exons. Once approved, or in subsequent trials, I assume it will be available more broadly but not at first. Trials are coming, take notes and videos.

Episode 167 of #Syngap10
Tuesday, March 18, 2025 - Week 12
SYNGAP1 & Unmet NeedPreface * Let’s separate the notion of symptoms and disease description with lived caregiver and patient experience. When you do this, charts about seizure progression and symptom list lose their sterile veneer and become horror stories. * This is critical because clinicians have become desensitized to patients' complaints and SYNGAP1 caregivers are tired of trying to explain to people how this disease hits you. * SRD is slow moving, but suddenly changing and completely enervating.
Medical: Existing treatments/polypharmacy is woefully inadequate & worsens as patients age: * Unrelenting intractable and worsening seizures cause side effects and require constant vigilance and partnership with Neuros * Medication changes can cause issues such at rage * Long-term side effects, e.g., bone health issues, from chronic medication use * Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are rarely addressed despite complex prescriptions from multiple specialists (Neuro, Psych, Primary, supplements, etc.) * Some go to challenging non-pharma options: Not to mention tube feeding, keto diet, and neuro surgical options like VNS/CC as well as hip surgery for severe gait.
Behavioral & ID: Our kids have enough physical ability to make behavior very challenging:* Pain and behavior compounded by being non-verbal as they grow * Violence against family—bites and scratches * Violence against self, just sheer frustration * Elopement & no sense of danger as a constant stress/burden * ABA can be helpful if the team is high caliber but often fails due to staffing, rigidity, insurance or lack of skill.
Family: Toll on caregivers & family is a heavy cost that is rarely counted: * Almost all of our kids have severely disrupted sleep and that is a form of torture for the whole family. * Exhaustion from the diagnostic journey, assessments, and caregiving. * Marriages fall apart under the pressure. * Nobody can care for our kids—no respite, no support, schools fail. Parents are afraid to die, fearing what will happen to their children. * Siblings are the last to be noticed but first affected.
Emphasize: The patients are very complex, the system isn’t working, families are in crisis, and they need real solutions.
Parents will travel: * We’ve had 100 patients go to CHOP from all over the USA, no cure here, just expertise. * Example: the day I wrote this presentation I saw these 4 Facebook posts: + VHM at CHOP https://www.facebook.com/virginie.herradormcnamar/posts/pfbid02NbqkEsH84XtaoNc8qma5LsPEsC16NVGmzgq6fXRb3opP4rGJjP2WjGkMUGhbBTjpl + B at CHCO https://www.facebook.com/beata.tarasiuk.56/posts/pfbid0YJ4AxBuxtzoeqHyHHtwP5tLR8jGgRjxzxkJ + CB at WCMC https://www.facebook.com/corey.baysden/posts/pfbid0c7RZtzm8hsB3k5mTGpmiXhaq7xzL9vLptfVn5FYZ8ZcFEuxqiYETHss7eUxpwo8Bl + RR at UCSF https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02JvfR1G33tAg9XRZVXMidstcZYcEjzrqFeutvepYoPVb1RbjTEF1QCJj4kbDdScKQl&id=100088305909698
Episode 166 of #Syngap10
Please give my video a watch and SAVE MEDICAID! Do it as if your child's life depends on it. I want to emphasize the importance of the current moment regarding Medicaid, not to alarm you, but to underscore the urgency of the situation. This is a critical time for the well-being of our loved ones, and the need to act has never been more pressing. For over 30 years, I’ve been advocating at the state legislature level and with congressional members, but the potential cuts to Medicaid we are facing now are unlike anything we've encountered before. We must work together to protect this vital resource. Your support could make a significant difference. To reach out to your Congressional Member consider these two resources:- Epilepsy Foundation: https://www.epilepsy.com/advocacy/advocate - ARC of US: https://p2a.co/lRPDZ5C

Hope:
Disability is Political
Take it or Advocate?
Taking it does not work.
Advocate:
Annie Kennedy’s comments at the ELF Capitol Briefing: https://www.youtube.com/live/F6kfKsYCQYU?si=ihWOl7Lda7Steg3p&t=3391
Responsibility to those who cannot or will not be here. 10% of Americans. 10k diseases, all chronic. Childhood. Do not have FDA approved treatments, no cures. Staggering Financial Costs aka Toxicities. Efforts to date have allowed for interventions that may still matter. We have invested so much.

This write is a bit incomplete as it just says 5-HT2, which is a just receptor family:
5-HT2A
5-HT2B - this the receptor linked to cardiac. Fenfluramine, a nonselective serotonin-releasing agent, its adverse effects were linked to activating this receptor
5-HT2C - bexicasarin selectively activates this.

Prevalence:
They are easily missed. The math is clear. Lots of data. 1% of ID = 35k+
1/100k at 3.6m in 2023 = 36 a year, minimum with PTV.
5/100k = 180. A YEAR.

Repurposed therapies are just as important.
Review of repurposed drugs:
RAVICTI Rx- 10+ patients with Dr. Grinspan, not all but a few have had significant seizure reduction. I remain worried about cost and look to STXBP1 and SLC6A1 for guidance here.
NORTRIPTYLINE Rx - Has helped me, a handful of families are getting a Rx. I am hopeful that some researcher does an investigator led trial. But until then, ask your Neuro.
ACETYL-LEUCINE is a Nutraceutical - Update 1 has really been noticed and Update 2 will share a few potential mechanisms of action. Many are trying this drug from https://bit.ly/tanganil24 Encouraging… no, updating. Please share data with us if you are trying. We are collecting case studies for Update 3. Thank you to the team here.

Next week I’ll be at Milken Global, it takes a team. https://milkeninstitute.org/events/global-conference-2024/program
It takes a village.
We need to support efforts to help our kids and accept that the system will always fall short, the need for a strong SRF will only grow. The more we unify, the faster it grows.

What does my genetic report mean?
We wrote a blog, but as I’ve had this conversation a few dozen times, my answer is simpler now. Is it missense or is it truncating? If missense, do more research, if truncating, it is in the first 4 exons (p. Address of 129 or lower).
Who else has it? Look on ClinVar and call SRF.

The intersection of biomarkers and repurposing: The latter could help us figure out which of the former to focus on which could be the difference between a drug making it.
Repurposing:
Friend message - “And I wanted to tell you about the worsening behavior with treatments: a friend of mine has a son with Dravet syndrome, and many years ago they started him on a drug that reduced the seizures quite a bit, and my friend used to say “with this new treatment cleaning his brain from all those EEG interferences, we are starting to see more of his personality… and we’ve realized that we don’t like him”. Very harsh but very real to say”

My vote (today) is that we have a disease that is a DEE called SYNGAP1 Related Disorders (SRD).
These monogenic disorders are anything but monolithic.
Disease vs. Syndrome, read this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1480257/ (Cavalo, 2003)
A syndrome is a recognizable complex of symptoms and physical findings which indicate a specific condition for which a direct cause is not necessarily understood...Once medical science identifies a causative agent or process with a fairly high degree of certainty, physicians may then refer to the process as a disease, not a syndrome.
NDD vs DEE - We are a DEE
“Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) encompass highly prevalent conditions such as autism and epilepsy, with cognitive disabilities alone affecting 1-3% of the global population. Developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are NDD characterized by epilepsy and delayed development or loss of developmental skills. Although the prevalence of DEEs remains to be determined, studies estimate that single-gene epilepsies occur in around 1 in 2100 births annually.”

REPURPOSING
Also, repurposing is coming fast. 4PB is going into kids in the US and doctors in the Netherlands, Poland and Turkey are paying attention. We have a hit from Chow that we are validating. Rarebase validation is coming soon… The question is how and what to measure. The other question is cost, stay tuned here.

EEGS MATTER
To get an EEG Biomarker, you need to collect EEGs. Not simple.
This eg from Angelman in 2021. (Syndrome defined in 1965, UBE3A in 1997)
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667174321000380
Check out this 2023 example for SCN2A (gene 1989, patient 2001) https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.24.23296360v1
SYNGAP1 (gene 1998 Huganir, patient 2009 Michaud)
Where’s our paper?
Beacon Biosignals is a company we know: https://beacon.bio/
You are entitled to a copy of your medical records under HIPAA and they have 30 days to get it to you.

EEGs (in .edf format) are much bigger than the rest of your medical records (pdf and images). Check out Tony’s

First grant: You can learn more about the Courtney grant in episode 66? #s10e66 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eVw6Oc_V_Y (Like these and subscribe to our YouTube channel).
Second grant: Here is the press release and social media on the Bowie grant. - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cureSYNGAP1/posts/356581543313514 - Twitter: https://twitter.com/curesyngap1/status/1552642957546700800 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6958432905563955200 - Press Release: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/960181
1. We have LOTS of requests for support, many are good. So you should join us in supporting this one. 2. This is exciting - Quality and Focused - We said yes.
The Bowie Grant story. Excellent and committed to SYNGAP1. Can’t help but like the guy.
Key words from press release: Prof. Bowie believes that by correcting targets downstream of these synapses, a specific combination therapy can result in a common improvement of the ID phenotype. This grant will support his lab in investigating the efficacy of this therapy via SYNGAP1 mouse models…to test our idea of using a small molecule approach to target the molecular pathways giving rise to intellectual disability. I am excited to see what new insights this research will uncover.
3. Global Collaboration - Overcome and Campdraft/SRF-Australia
Tax deductible Donations in TWO Countries for this grant: - US syngap.fund/bowie - CANADA syngap.fund/overcome
4. Reminder: Infrastructure is huge and it’s here for you.
Don’t take for granted the work that is required to give you opportunities to fund. Diligence, Grants to leading researchers, Webpages, Tax receipts, funds flowing directly to well governed organizations. It’s here for you, fund the work!

Tuesday
Prosser Pre-Print - Mapping PTBP splicing in human brain identifies targets for therapeutic splice switching including SYNGAP1
“We find that PTBP2 binding to SYNGAP1 mRNA promotes alternative splicing and non-sense mediated decay. Antisense oligonucleotides that disrupt PTBP binding sites on SYNGAP1 redirect splicing and increase gene and protein expression.”

Episode 64 of #Syngap10 - June 14, 2022
Copy from letter from Praxis:
Monday morning, June 6th, we published an 8K filing announcing news involving multiple programs at Praxis Precision Medicines. One of these announcements pertained to the FDA’s clinical hold on our recent IND filing for PRAX-222 in SCN2A, so we wanted to share further context for it.
On May 25, 2022, the Company received a communication from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) providing additional information on the clinical hold placed on the Company’s Investigational New Drug application (the “IND”) for the study of PRAX-222, an antisense oligonucleotide, for the treatment of patients with SCN2A gain-of-function mutations. The communication indicated that our IND could be cleared once we submit additional documentation related to the preclinical non-human primate toxicology study that supports the proposed starting dose in the clinical study. We’re requesting a Type A meeting with the FDA to confirm the study design and further clarify the requirements for dose escalation beyond the starting dose. This surely will leave our SCN2A community with questions about the timing of our path forward. While the protocol and the discussions being held with the FDA remain confidential, we will do our best to maintain transparency and responsiveness throughout the process.
We continue to be fully committed to advancing PRAX-222 to clinical study. We also want to restate that this news is specific to PRAX-222, without impact on our PRAX-562 program for SCN2A, SCN8A and TSC. In Monday’s press release, we reiterated our focus on driving toward proof of concept for PRAX-562. We’ll provide further updates on PRAX-562 as we approach major milestones on this path. In addition, our other programs in PCDH19 and SYNGAP1 remain on-track.
Beyond epilepsy, Monday’s 8K filing announced significant news pertaining to our Aria study of PRAX-114 in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). It is with great regret that we announce the failure of the Aria Study, a study to determine the efficacy of a GABBA PAM extrasynaptic preference medicine to achieve fast-acting, lasting reduction of symptoms of MDD. After reviewing the data and our operational controls and observing failure to achieve our primary endpoint, we determined that PRAX-114 was indeed safe but not efficacious, and no further research and development of PRAX-114 is warranted. This conclusion has a negative impact on the study of PRAX-114 to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Essential Tremor. This is a difficult decision for the Praxis team; but our commitment and capacity to researching and developing genetic insight-based treatments for people living with disorders of the CNS is in no way diminished.

First, because patient data is organized, we have 172 people signed up for Ciitizen, make sure you are part of the first 200! Sign up now at https: www.ciitizen.com/SYNGAP1
Second, because there is a credible partner to help them work with patients, researchers and clinicians, see www.SyngapResearchFund.org ;-)
We do cool things like get ICD-10 codes. I got ANOTHER call (google #S10e48 & #S10e54) about ICD-10 codes. We are so lucky to have this code, USE IT. F78.A1
Third, because they believe they will find more patients and we believe that too. Here are three ways we are working on this:
First, we are working on reaching out to the communities of color to increase genetic testing for NDDs. If you know someone who would like to support another SRF Movie, please let us know.
Second, we need to resolve VUS patients. There are too many VUS patients with SYNGAP1. That is low hanging fruit for finding more patients.
Third, our work with Probably Genetic is going well. Over 1,750 people have taken that survey and we are going to reach out to ~80 people who we think need to pursue testing… PUSH OUT THIS LINK: https://syngap.fund/maybe

Thank you Julie for your help making mice, we are really having fun accelerating science. Thank you JR, Hans and Marta for joining meetings with a company to talk about other options for SRF. All costs $.
Global: Victoria is at Dravet in Spain with Katrien from the Netherlands. How cool is that? Denmark is next week.
BTW, remember episode 48 (google #S10e48) I got another call, the ICD-10 debacle continues. We are so lucky to have this code, USE IT. I had two meetings this week looking at health economics, this code is showing up and it is going to help us understand cost and find doctors. USE THE CODE… F78.A1
Probably Genetic, our partnership there continues and good things are coming, over 1,000 people have taken that survey and we are going to reach out to 40 people who we think need to pursue testing… PUSH OUT THIS LINK: https://syngap.fund/maybe

You can’t do this alone, don’t try. But do Plan. Lots of planning from SNTs to Brain Donation to Service Dogs.
HEADLINE: YOU CAN”T DO THIS ALONE, DON’T TRY
-Please don’t try to muscle raising a SYNGAP1 child, connect with the community, share tricks, joys and sorrows. We cannot do this alone.
PLANNING
One parent just asked how to think about planning for the future, here is what I said.
Regardless of money, all of our kids will need state services throughout their life if we don't get a therapy into their brains (this is what SRF works on). And even then they will need support, but less. At this point, I would ask yourself two things:
3a. Are you going to live in this place for good? If so, get all over services in your state. The rules and realities vary considerably by state.
3b. If you are flexible, is there another place you could live and what are services like there? I've seen a few families take a deep breath, ask these questions and move.
Our kids don't get less complicated, I think you have signed up for Ciitizen, but whoever cares for your loved one will be so grateful that you have put all his medical records in one place. https://ciitizen.com/Syngap1

Read Paediatric Neurologist, Clinician-Scientist, Laureate Professor Ingrid Scheffer, AO’s piece in the Lancet Neurology: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(22)00002-3/fulltext
Here is the quote Mike read:
“It will not be feasible to design a gene therapy for each pathogenic variant of every genetic disease, so clever strategies, such as those mentioned earlier, will need to be developed to enable these life-changing therapies to reach a wide variety of patients.
The future of child neurology is bright—indeed, far more promising than at the turn of the 21st century. Many devastating diseases now have real hope of targeted therapies, which can cure not just one but all manifestations of the disease and offer the child and family the promise of a normal life.”

From: https://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2018/01/04/ex-sarepta-ceo-takes-helm-of-genetic-disease.html Kaye said he was recruited by Stoke co-founder Adrian Krainer, with whom he previously worked at Genzyme before joining Sarepta in 2010. Krainer is perhaps best known for being an inventor of another “antisense” drug targeting a genetic disease, Biogen’s spinal muscular atrophy treatment Spinraza.
“He was one of the real originators of RNA therapy,” Kaye said. “I thought (Stoke) was at a point where it needed to be shepherded from preclinical development into the clinic. It was a really exciting opportunity.”
