| Better Understanding Through Research

Welcome

Welcome to the TANGO2 Research Foundation web site. Our mission is to improve the lives of those children and young adults affected by TANGO2 related disease by helping to fund, coordinate and guide scientific research that leads to a better understanding of how TANGO2 mutations affect them. TANGO2 has only recently been identified as a gene that contributes to human disease so there is not yet a deep understanding of the specifics around the underlying pathology and biochemical pathways affected.

TANGO2 STUDY CURRENTLY UNDERWAY - PARTICIPANTS NEEDED

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine & Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas are conducting research on TANGO2-related disease. Participation in this study by as many patients as possible is critical in learning more about how to prevent crisis, treat those children currently in crisis and begin the work of finding new treatments and therapies for TANGO2 disease.
