About us
CureGRIN Foundation is a parent-run charity organization dedicated to improving the lives of people around the world with GRI Disorders (GRIA, GRID, GRIK, and GRIN) and their families through research, education, and support. We work closely with scientists and the medical community to drive patient-centered research that will lead to treatments and cures. GRI Disorders may be rare, but hope should not be! Our goal is simple and bold: To find cures and therapies for people living with GRI disorders caused by variants in GRIA, GRID, GRIK, and GRIN genes. GRI Disorders are part of a larger family of genetic diseases related to ionotropic glutamate receptors. These receptors play an important role in learning and memory as well as other critical biological functions. GRI Disorders are rare genetic conditions with severe life-limiting consequences. Many GRI patients are non-verbal, unable to walk, and many cannot feed or toilet themselves. They often suffer severe and frequent seizures that are not responsive to medical therapies.

We’re honored to announce that we’ve been selected as a 2024 #RAREis Global Advocate Grant recipient by @Amgen’s #RAREis program. This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to the GRI Disorders community and the rare disease community at large, who inspire us every day with their strength and resilience amid care and research barriers. With this #RAREisGrant, we’re motivated to hope to address the health inequities that exist in our global community by empowering and educating GRI families, ensuring that no matter their socioeconomic status, they will have equal access to knowledgeable medical professionals and accurate information about GRI disorders. We hope to provide our families with access to emerging treatments and the opportunity to participate in available clinical trials. By translating and connecting these families with resources that are relevant to their cultural needs, we can improve patient outcomes and overall health for our global GRI Community.

Join us in Kansas City on Sat, Sept 28, right after Global Genes Week in Rare!
We are excited to present the Annual COMBINEDBrain In-Person Meeting!! Sept 28, Kansas City, MO. Please come!!! We want this to be one of those good kinds of meetings: memorable, a working meeting - lots of discussion ending in action, coffee all day long, cocktails starting BEFORE the end of the meeting (our trademark manoeuvre). And...Kansas City Bar-B-Que (burnt ends, brisket and ribs) if enough of you stay for dinner. This meeting is being held in cooperation with Global Genes, and we encourage you to register for both conferences. Date: September 28, 2024, 8am-7pm CST Location: Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza, 4445 Main St, Kansas City, MO 64111 Objective: Bring all COMBINEDBrain stakeholders together in one room to fast-track collaboration on translational research for rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. The link to register is https://lnkd.in/e7YvxJvg For more info and to see the "almost final draft" agenda, write to info@combinedbrain.org. And let us know if you are staying for dinner. The Global Genes Week in RARE/RARE Advocacy Summit takes place down the street from September 25-28, 2024 at Loew's Hotel, 1515 Wyandotte St., Kansas City, MO, 64108.

Meet the Neurvati and GRIN Therapeutics, Inc. team at the International League Against Epilepsy’s 15th European Epilepsy Congress as we present new data from our Phase 1b Honeycomb clinical trial evaluating our investigational drug as a potential treatment for children with GRIN-related disorder. #EEC2024
At the International League Against Epilepsy’s 15th European Epilepsy Congress in Rome, Italy, from September 7 to 11, we will present new data from the Honeycomb Study, our Phase 1b open-label clinical trial evaluating our investigational drug for the treatment of GRIN-related disorder. Professor Renzo Guerrini, M.D., will deliver a poster presentation on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effect on seizure frequency and behavior of individually titrated doses of our investigational drug in children with GRIN-related disorder. See our press release for more information: https://lnkd.in/epZNea8k #EEC2024

Sharing our stories is so important to spread awareness and help our families feel like part of a community. Each of our stories may be a little different but connecting with people who "get it" can make the isolation of rare disorders a little less lonely. #strongertogether #GRIdisorder #raredisease
GRIN-related disorder is a family of rare, genetically defined pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders caused by mutations in a group of genes known as “GRIN” genes, which includes GRIN1, GRIN2A, GRIN2B, and GRIN2D. As we advance research to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families impacted by GRIN-related disorder, we are dedicated to learning from the patient community and amplifying their stories. Hear from two parents about their experiences raising a child with GRIN-related disorder. Visit our website to listen to more stories about patients and their families: https://lnkd.in/eR4akwmc

It has been 2 weeks since we launched the GRI Census and we have had an amazing response so far! 189 families have completed registration, across 16 countries, representing 10 genes! Learn more about the GRI Census or register at https://lnkd.in/gd63Mh_V #GRIdisorder #GRIcensus #CureGRIN

We are so excited to add Maryland to our March - GRI Disorders Awareness Month state proclamations! Thank you to Kat Reiher and all of the #gridisorders families who have assisted in acquiring these proclamations, and who continue to advocate for the rest of the USA. We can't wait to watch more roll in! If you would like to volunteer to help achieve a proclamation for your state, please contact Brittany Schrock at brittany@curegrin.org. #griawarenessmonth #GRIAwareness #stateproclamation #Maryland

Yesterday we launched a global GRI Census to collect data from families to advance our search for treatments and cures for GRI Disorders. The Census is open to parents and caregivers of an individual with a confirmed diagnosis of a GRI Disorder (GRIN1, GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2D, GRIN3A, GRIA1, GRIA2, GRIA3, GRIA4, GRIK2, GRIK5, GRID1, GRID2). You can access the census here: https://lnkd.in/gd63Mh_V The census is currently available in 6 languages- English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Dutch will be available soon. The global GRI Census is designed to help increase our community’s chances for clinical trials and drug development. Information from the Census is helpful for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies as they consider adding GRI Disorders to their pipeline. A huge barrier to learning more about GRI Disorders is the challenge of finding enough people eligible to participate in research studies. The more people with a GRI Disorder we can find, the more powerful the results! Please know that your data and any identifying information are kept confidential. The census is stored in a highly secure data storage system that meets national and international regulatory requirements for conducting clinical trials, including HIPAA and GDPR. Your story and experiences are valuable resources, not only for other GRI families, but for researchers and biotech companies. If you have any questions, want to request a translation, or trouble accessing GRI Census, please email us at info@curegrin.org. #GRIN1 #GRIN2A #GRIN2B #GRIN2D #GRIN3A #GRIA1 #GRIA2 #GRIA3 #GRIA4 #GRID #GRIK2 #GRIK5
