This research project entails delivery of a personalized antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drug designed for a single participant with Neurodevelopmental Disorder with or without Brain Abnormalities (NEDBA) due to a heterozygous pathogenic missense mutation in MAPK8IP3
This is an interventional study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with an individualized antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment in a single participant with NEDBA due to a heterozygous pathogenic missense mutation in MAPK8IP3
n-Lorem Foundation is the lead sponsor of 17 studies on the registry; 6 are open to participants now.
