About us
Myhre Syndrome is a rare genetic disease first described by Dr. Selma A. Myhre, an American pediatrician, in 1981. There are less than 200 confirmed cases of Myhre syndrome worldwide and true numbers are unknown. We hear of new cases each year as awareness grows. Myhre Syndrome Foundation is a patient advocacy organization dedicated to providing hope and improving the lives of those impacted by Myhre syndrome. We foster collaboration among all relevant stakeholders to build a strong, global community in order to advance research, as well as support, educate and advocate for those impacted by Myhre syndrome. (MSF is a registered 501c(3) charity)

Hope Isn’t Rare At the Myhre Syndrome Foundation, we’re constantly inspired by the incredible people at the heart of our mission: the children, the adults, the families, and the advocacy driven by a community that’s small but mighty. Myhre syndrome may be very rare, but the hope we’ve created together feels anything but. Every dollar you give fuels life-changing progress—for individuals, for families, and for every step forward toward treatments and, one day, a cure. Join us. Be part of the hope. Because while Myhre syndrome may be rare, hope isn’t. https://lnkd.in/dChtF2B #HopeIsntRare #MyhreSyndrome #RareButMighty #TogetherForACure

We are deeply saddened to share the news that Angel, 20, has passed away today. As a mark of respect, we have changed our logo to black. Her mom, Sheri, shared the following. “Angel is the youngest of four. She was always in the best spirits no matter what she was going through in life. She made the whole family laugh with her uplifting personality and love for each of us. She loved music, arts and crafts, and Pokémon. There is a large hole in our hearts today, and she will be dearly missed.” At MSF, we will continue to work tirelessly in Angel’s name and for all those who have gone too soon. Our hearts are with Angel and her family.

Myhre Syndrome Foundation reposted this
Join us on Saturday, 26 October, for our next MSF Family & Patient Research Q&A session. We'll discuss "Beyond TGF-beta: How SMAD4 Shapes Puberty, Autism, and Learning in Myhre Syndrome." Join us in exploring the role of SMAD4 in the brain and endocrine system, focusing on how other receptors influence key manifestations of Myhre syndrome. From puberty to autism, bone growth, and cognitive functions like learning and memory, we’ll explore the impacts that go beyond TGF-beta pathways, such as fibrosis. You’ll leave the session learning more about the importance of understanding how other receptors contribute to the complex presentation of Myhre syndrome.
