SATB2-Associated Syndrome Awareness Day

https://www.satb2europe.org/ Yesterday, on 22 August, our member organisation SATB2 Europe marked SATB2-Associated Syndrome Awareness Day. SATB2-Associated Syndrome (SAS), also known as Glass Syndrome or 2q33.1 Microdeletion Syndrome, is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by alterations of the SATB2 gene on the second chromosome. This syndrome significantly affects many organ systems and thus areas of development, primarily brain, palate, teeth and bones. To learn more about the experiences of those impacted by SAS, listen this discussion with Erika Stariha, the Founding President of SATB2 Europe and the mother of a boy with the condition. Is your organisation also aware of any upcoming awareness events that you would like to see promoted in the Community section of our monthly newsletter? If yes, contact our Communications Manager, Julien Poulain, at julien.poulain@eurordis.org.
