Ring 20 Mission Statement | USA

The ultimate goal is to cure Ring 20 syndrome

The mission of Ring 20 USA is to promote research regarding the syndrome caused by ring formation of the 20th chromosome, to help educate clinicians and families regarding this rare disease, to improve clinical care for patients with rare epilepsies, and to provide thoughtful resources to the community of patients with Ring 20 syndrome.

Our mission is simple yet powerful:

1. Have testing for Ring 20 become a standard amongst pediatric neurologists so that early detection and correct diagnosis can help patients.
2. To empower individuals living with Ring 20 syndrome, their families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals with knowledge, tools, and a supportive network to navigate the challenges and triumphs that come with this diagnosis.
3. As more patients are identified and we collaborate as a community, research activities such as a natural history study, a registry, a biobank, and basic science inquiry into the cause of ring 20 formation will be enabled.
