THÉRAPIE GÉNIQUE
HELP US REACH OUR CURRENT $1.5M GOAL!
Your support is crucial in raising awareness and funds for gene therapy pre-clinical research, preparation for a Toxicology Study, or whatever exciting initiatives may be next.
The sooner we reach our goals, the faster we get to a potential Clinical Trial.
See our Fundraising Progress below.
Thank you for your SUPPORT
La thérapie génique est une approche révolutionnaire du traitement des maladies génétiques, où un traitement ponctuel peut offrir des avantages à vie. Au lieu de traiter uniquement les symptômes, la thérapie génique corrige la maladie à la source en remplaçant le gène défectueux par une copie saine.
Une copie saine du gène défectueux du patient est chargée dans un virus qui a été dépouillé de son propre ADN.
Des milliards de virus, chacun contenant une copie saine du gène, sont injecté dans le liquide céphalo-rachidien du patient.
Les virus se lient aux cellules de la moelle épinière et du cerveau du patient et transmettent des gènes sains au noyau de la cellule.
Comment ça fonctionne
the gene therapy project
Several years ago, a group of ECHS1 families forged a partnership with researchers in the Bailey Lab at UT Southwestern Medical Ceneter, located in Dallas, TX, USA.
The Bailey Lab is working on the use of an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector for therapeutic gene delivery.

It truly takes a village.
Families from around the world are partnering with Cure Mito Foundation to raise funds that get us closer to a treatment or cure for our children.
If you are interested in supporting a fund which honors a child or family member affected by ECHS1 Deficiency, please click the "DONATE" button associated with one of the campaigns below.
Please email info@curemito.org if you would like information about starting a fund in honor or memory of your loved one.
Thank you for supporting our children!
