A St. Louis family is organizing a third fundraising walk on Sunday, October 27, in honor of their son, Landon who was diagnosed with Gould Syndrome and is turning 3.
Gould Syndrome is a genetic multi-system disorder that is characterized by abnormal blood vessels in the brain, heart and kidney complications and in Landon’s case, eye abnormalities and epilepsy. Your support helps additional research and testing of therapeutic avenues which gives families hope!
About one-third of infants born with Gould Syndrome have cataracts at birth or developmental defects that can lead to early-onset glaucoma. The syndrome is named for UCSF geneticist Douglas Gould, PhD, in recognition of his discovery of and his lab’s work on this rare, multisystem disorder. It is caused by mutations in collagen genes COL4A1 and COL4A2.
Proceeds raised from the walk went to support Dr. Douglas Gould’s vision research that makes a lasting difference in treatment of this rare disease.
