SLC6A1 in a minute
SLC6A1: a rare disease that needs answers
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy associated with the SLC6A1 gene is a rare neurological disorder of genetic origin. It can affect development, language, learning and seizure control. Each person follows a different course.

Together we can change the future
Families have come together to turn uncertainty into support, knowledge and research.
- We connect and guide affected families.
