Our Goal, Vision & Commitment

For patients and health care providers

Volunteer, Participate, or Donate

The WWOX Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to promoting community awareness of WWOX related syndromes and supporting scientific research that aims to develop effective treatments and ultimately cure the syndromes.

​

The WWOX Foundation was formed by a group of parents with children affected by the devastating syndromes associated with WWOX deficiency.

WWOX is the name of a gene located on chromosome 16. It is responsible for critical brain functions.

​

A recessive mutation of the WWOX gene can be carried by parents and passed to their children for generations.

Provide Hope

Help us fund a lifesaving gene therapy treatment to cure WWOX related diseases.

Your generous donation will support ground breaking laboratory research and create a pathway towards a clinical trial.
