  • Project Period: Two years

Funder seeks to advance our understanding of how UBE3A is regulated and functions in the brain to guide therapeutic development.

Key Research Areas:

  • The role of UBE3A in protein regulation and neuronal function
  • Cell-type specific effects of UBE3A loss
  • Impact of UBE3A deficiency across brain regions
  • Haploinsufficiency of non-imprinted genes in AS pathophysiology

Actions:

  • Support molecular and genetic studies on UBE3A regulation and function
  • Foster collaborations between geneticists, neuroscientists, and clinicians
  • Identify new therapeutic targets to address UBE3A deficiency

Funds research that translates into real-world solutions for individuals with AS.
