    Abstract:
    The Koolen-de Vries Syndrome Foundation was founded in 2013 with the mission to educate, increase awareness, promote research and develop treatments for individuals living with Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) and their families. With this aim, the foundation has focused on: developing scientific resources through patient cell and animal models, providing seed funding to basic and clinical researchers, establishing a natural history study of KdVS and increasing patient engagement. Projects have been prioritized across these areas of focus with an emphasis on expanding international research on KdVS, supporting translational research, establishing an international natural history study and conducting studies to assess patient priorities. With the incredible growth amongst our research and patient community in the last decade, our goal is to have our first clinical trial for KdVS in 2026. Koolen de-Vries Syndrome: a journey from diagnosis to treatments The Koolen-de Vries Syndrome Foundation (‘KdVSF’) was founded in 2013 with the mission to develop treatments for all individuals diagnosed with KdVS. With this aim, we have focused on several research priorities for our community: developing cell and animal models for KdVS for our researchers to utilize for experiments, providing research grants to KdVS basic and clinical researchers, establishing a natural history study of KdVS and increasing patient engagement and diversity. The KdVS research and patient community has expanded tremendously over the last decade, and there is growing excitement over the possible treatments currently being investigated amongst KdVS researchers. With our current focus on translational research and research aimed at identifying treatment strategies in KdVS patients, our goal is to have our first clinical trial for KdVS in late 2026.
