When Dr. Faranak Herrera received her son’s 16p11.2 diagnosis at just 3 years old, she discovered what so many families face: there were no treatments, no guidance, and few resources. She chose to change that.

The 16p11.2 Genetic Foundation's vision is to integrate 16p11.2 genetic variants seamlessly throughout the health, education and societal landscapes by 2030. We do it for our children.

We strive to convene, connect, advocate for policy, drive better care and advance research. Join us!
