New Diagnosis

Welcome to FamilieSCN2A

We are an organization created by parents of children diagnosed with rare forms of Epilepsy and Autism as a result of a change in the SCN2A gene.

Our vision is to find effective treatments and a cure for SCN2A related disorders.

Our mission is to improve the lives of those affected by SCN2A related disorders through research, public awareness, family support and patient advocacy.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
