Our mission is to lead the way in finding a cure for TANGO2 related disease. We will do this by helping to fund, coordinate and guide scientific research that leads to a better understanding of how TANGO2 mutations affect people at the most basic cellular and biochemical pathway levels.
The TANGO2 Research Foundation was founded in 2018 by a Connecticut couple who's son was diagnosed with TANGO2 in 2017. This newly discovered and extremely rare disease affects fewer than 100 children world wide. It is characterized by episodes ranging from head tilts, speech difficulty, intellectual disability, and seizures to potentially life-threatening metabolic crisis and cardiac arrhythmia. The foundation hopes to rapidly accelerate the understanding around TANGO2 and pave the way to future therapies and positive outcomes for our loved ones.
