Over the last years, too many of our NALCN and UNC80 children have struggled with intractable seizures, breathing disorders, global developmental delay associated with speech impairment, intellectual disability, dysautonomia, and hypotonía, combined with non-neurological symptoms such as facial dysmorphism, cardiac arrhythmia, endocrine dysfunction, and constipation. These health problems often have landed them in the hospital for days and even weeks. These children, their parents, and families motivate us to find much-needed treatments and a cure for NALCN/UNC80-related disorders. 
 
We know there are so many charities that are deserving of your support. As you consider your year-end giving, we hope you will make a donation to the non-profit Libellas foundation on #GivingTuesday the biggest day of the year for charitable giving, which is on November 30, 2021.
 
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with CLIFAHDD and IHPRF Syndrome through research and education to create a brighter future for these children by finding targeted treatments and therapies which will enable them to reach their full potential and live their best life. 
 

Fundación Libellas is an international, nonprofit patient advocacy organization dedicated to improving the lives of children affected by NALCN ion channel-related diseases, through research, family support programs, and education.

Children affected by mutations in the NALCN and UNC80 genetic variants have devasting symptoms and early death in severe mutations.  

NALCN/UNC80-related disorders, CLIFAHDD and IHPRF1 & 2 syndromes cause a large panel of symptoms that include severe encephalopathy associated with speech impairment, intellectual disability, dysautonomia, and hypotonia, breathing abnormalities (Apneas and hypopneas), combined with non-neurological symptoms such as facial dysmorphism, cardiac arrhythmia, endocrine dysfunction, and gastrointestinal symptoms

At the moment, patients do not have effective treatment options. 

With research, we have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge treatments. 

Your donation will offer more than just HOPE to families. It will pave a path towards the cure. 

VIDEO NALCN UNC80 GENETIC DISEASES

Fundación Libellas es una organización sin ánimo de lucro, dedicada al fomento y desarrollo de proyectos de investigación que redunden en beneficio de los niños afectados por mutaciones en el canal iónico NALCN. Además ofrece atención y ayuda a los pacientes y sus familiares. 

NALCN es un componente crítico de la excitabilidad neuronal y está involucrado en enfermedades genéticas extremadamente raras y graves. 

Los síndromes asociados a su disfunción son trastornos del neurodesarrollo que dan comienzo en la infancia: 

1. Síndrome de CLIFAHDD

2. Síndrome de IHPRF tipo 1

3. Síndrome de IHPRF tipo 2

Por el momento los pacientes no tienen opciones de tratamiento efectivos. Fomentar la investigación es nuestra esperanza para una cura.

NALCN is a critical component of neuronal excitability and is involved in extremely rare and serious genetic diseases.

The syndromes associated with its dysfunction are neurodevelopmental disorders that begin in childhood:

1. CLIFAHDD syndrome

2. IHPRF syndrome type 1

3. IHPRF syndrome type 2

At the moment, patients do not have effective treatment options. Fostering research is our hope for a cure.
