Here you will find the world’s largest SCN2A community and the most complete body of research and information on SCN2A-Related Disorders (SRDs).
Most rare diseases do not have a cure. However, recent progress in precision medicine, drug repurposing, and gene therapy are offering hope for treating these types of disorders. Our mission is to accelerate this work.
What are SCN2A-Related Disorders (SRDs)?
SCN2A is the name of a gene that is commonly associated with early-onset epilepsy and is a leading monogenetic cause of autism spectrum disorder.
We’re excited to announce that the 2027 FamilieSCN2A Foundation Family & Professional Conference and Research Roundtable is headed to San Diego, California!
July 26-28, 2027
Hope on the Horizon, we look forward to welcoming families affected by SCN2A-related disorders, researchers, clinicians, and industry partners from around the world for three unforgettable days of connection, education, collaboration, and hope.

Community
A decade ago an SCN2A diagnosis meant accepting that you were alone and that no one was even studying it. Today, SRDs are at the forefront of scientific research and supported by a global community.
Newly Diagnosed?
You are not alone. Here you will find a caring community and abundant resources on SCN2A-related disorders (SRDs). Whether you have a newborn baby with epilepsy or are an adult with autism, we welcome ALL those with SRDs. We are glad you found us.
