DHPS FOUNDATION

DHPS is a genetic condition that occurs when a change or mutation in DNA is inherited from both parents in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that both copies of the DHPS gene in each cell have a mutation. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of a mutated gene, but do not show signs and symptoms of the condition... Our mission is to help identify and assist individuals with rare genetic disorders, and to work with interested researchers to develop treatment options and cures for those disorders. Our initial focus is on increasing awareness and understanding of patients with DHPS deficiencies and evaluating potential treatments to address those deficiencies.
