KAT6 Foundation Information

The KAT6 Foundation was founded in 2017 by a handful of parents of children identified with variants on their KAT6A gene. At the time, there were less than 50 known KAT6A cases. In 2020, the KAT6A Foundation began fostering connections with the KAT6B community and in 2022, we formally became the KAT6 Foundation, an organization devoted to understanding mutations in both KAT6A and KAT6B genes. Today, there are more than 700 known cases of KAT6 syndromes worldwide, and we expect our numbers to continue to grow. OUR MISSION: The KAT6 Foundation supports individuals and their families who are living with KAT6A and KAT6B syndromes around the world. We advance scientific research aimed at developing treatments to spread awareness of KAT6 syndromes so they can be more easily identified, treated, and studied. We hope that you will reach out to us if your family member was diagnosed with KAT6A or KAT6B. You can join our support group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/803280496369674/. We empathize with your daily struggles associated with this rare disease and are here to support, educate and learn from you. We are the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to support the international KAT6A and KAT6B syndrome community. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation at kat6.org.
