Today marks the very first annual APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD) Awareness Day. APOL1-mediated kidney disease is a genetic condition that can cause kidney failure, and disproportionately affects people of Western and Central African descent. We're raising awareness alongside the American Kidney Fund for those living with APOL-1 #kidneydisease. At Maze, we're developing MZE829, a potential oral medicine that is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials. We invite you to learn more and raise awareness about AMKD and promote being #APOL1aware. By working together as a community, we can expand our understanding of APOL1's association with kidney disease. Join us in making a difference here: https://lnkd.in/eBbath4Z

On this Rare Disease Day, join Saol in honoring the strength and resilience of individuals facing the challenges of a rare disease, including those bravely navigating Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency (PDCD). In solidarity with the rare disease community, we proudly display our stripes. Just as zebras stand out in their beauty and uniqueness, so do those living with rare diseases. We would like to extend our gratitude to organizations like National Organization for Rare Disorders, United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, Cure Mito Foundation, MitoAction, and Hope for PDCD Foundation, whose unwavering advocacy provides crucial support to patients and families with a rare disease. PDCD, a rare genetic disorder impacting energy metabolism, presents formidable obstacles. Saol is proud to sponsor an ongoing trial for PDCD, and looks forward to the day when there are more treatments for rare diseases. As we #ShowYourStripes today let's raise awareness and advocate for the needs of the rare disease community. #RareDiseaseDay #Saolrx #PDCD🦓

What is one of the rarest, most disabling genetic conditions? Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) causes bone to form in muscles, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues, forming a second skeleton. It’s the only known disease where an organ system turns into another. An international association hopes to fund a cure while raising awareness and advocating for individuals and families affected by FOP.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affects nearly 40,000 children and adults in the U.S. and more than 100,000 people worldwide, with approximately 1,000 new cases diagnosed each year. CF is a life-threatening genetic disease that damages the lungs and makes it hard to breathe. Today, because of improved medical treatments and care, more than half of people with cystic fibrosis are 18 and older. During National CF Awareness Month in May, the community comes together to help others learn about the disease, share personal stories, and unite behind the mission of finding a cure for all people with CF. #CFAwarenessMonth #cysticfibrosis #transplant #CFAwareness #donatelife

Today marks Rare Disease Day, a global initiative observed on the last day of February to shed light on the impact of rare diseases and underscore the urgent need for research. Collectively, rare diseases are more common than we think, with over 7,000 different rare diseases affecting over 300 million people worldwide. Despite this, research funding remains scarce, primarily reliant on patients and advocacy organizations. Among these rare diseases is Glut1 Deficiency, a cause personally supported by President Neil Myers through Glut1 Deficiency Foundation . This is the time of year to raise awareness, educate, and gather funds to support programs for patients, families, and dedicated scientists working tirelessly to enhance patient care and advance research for a deeper understanding, improved treatments, and, ultimately, a cure. Visit the campaign page to learn more about Glut1 Deficiency at https://bit.ly/3UZJBPq #WilliamsCreek #Glut1Deficiency #RareDiseaseDay

Join us in raising awareness of MG, and in turn improving outcomes for patients! MG is rare, but serious autoimmune disease that causes a breakdown in the communication between the nerve and the muscle, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue. Symptoms may include droopy eyelids; double or blurred vision; weak arms, hands, neck, face or legs; and excessive fatigue. When severe, MG can result in difficulty chewing, smiling, swallowing, talking or breathing. Generally, those who are quickly diagnosed and receive effective treatment have the best outcomes. Despite advances in treatment, patients continue to be under diagnosed and under treated.
We launched the first European MG Day on 2 June 2023 a year ago! 👉🏻 Today is our SECOND celebration and we're very proud! This important event brings to light a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disease that affects thousands of people across Europe: Myasthenia Gravis. 🗓️ Join us today to raise awareness of MG. Let's unite, support, and empower everyone living with this disease. ❤ Read our press release here: https://bit.ly/3yQOtgs. #AllUnitedForMG #MGDay #europeanmgday
