Our engaged patient community is critical for advancing research. 

Research simply does not advance without patients. More and more, research and funding organizations look for active patient communities when deciding to focus on a particular disease. The gyrate atrophy community is a global group of families actively working towards a cure for ourselves and our loved ones.

When we are connected, inspired, and informed we accelerate research. We do this by: 

  • Using our stories and voices to inspire research and bring a human face to the disease 

  • Participating in research studies

  • Raising funds to catalyze research
