The KBG Foundation, est 2015, has directed $76K in research over the past two years, thanks to generous donations. Your efforts help the KBG syndrome community, because every link matters when it comes to finding better treatments.

Very excited to share our paper published today in @BMCMedicine on a discovery of a novel olfactory bulb phenotype in a mouse model and human patients with a rare neurodevelopmental disorder KBG syndrome rdcu.be/dEJ2y @NMHI_UofA @UAlberta_FoMD @WCHRIUofA 1/9

I’m very happy to announce the news that 14 new shows have been added to the #UnrealUnearth tour! I can’t wait to see you there.
Tickets for the newly added dates will go on sale on Friday, February 2nd at 12pm local time 🖤

Graduate student Kara Goodkey's research uncovers olfactory bulb abnormalities in KBG syndrome, showcasing the neural mechanisms behind this rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder.
Goodkey is supervised by WCHRI member @AMVoronova.

We celebrated international #KBGSyndrome awareness day by preparing a manuscript on the role of Ankrd11, a KBG syndrome risk gene, in brain development, led by @karaboo_98. We hope to share the story at the next #KBGsyndrome scientific meeting! #RareDisease #KBGDay2023 cc @KBGFdn
Today is International KBG Syndrome Awareness Day.
It's not about a condition, it's about YOU.
Not the symptoms.
YOU.
We celebrate the people who live with KBG syndrome.
Happy YOU day!
How did you celebrate YOU?!?

Anastassia Voronova’s latest research brings her one step closer to showing the potential of a brain molecule called fractalkine to stop — and even reverse — the effects of multiple sclerosis. @UAlberta_FoMD @MSSocietyCanada

Very proud of @karaboo_98 who was awarded @WCHRIUofA graduate studentship to investigate the role of oligodendrocyte development & function in KBG syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder! Thank you @WCHRIUofA for supporting & recognizing Kara's outstanding achievements. @KBGFdn
Very happy to be back at in person conferences! #ISDN2022 #oligodendrocytes #kbgsyndrome #glia @ISDNConference

Check out @karaboo_98’s poster #009 at tonight’s session at the #ISDN2022! Kara will present her recent findings on #glia development in a mouse model of neurodevelopmental #KBGsyndrome.

Research by two U of A students has exciting implications for future treatments of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis.
Their study looked at how myelin-producing cells can be regenerated in the brain.

A molecule called fractalkine "wakes up" brain cells that could help protect against diseases like MS, new research shows: bit.ly/38RRTPV #UAlberta #MultipleSclerosis #neuroscience

ALT Anastassia Voronova is co-author of a study showing that a molecule called fractalkine stimulates production of brain cells that produce myelin, the nerve-insulating substance that is gradually worn away in diseases like MS. The finding could point the way toward treatments that could restore myelin. (Photo: Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry)

We celebrate #RareDiseaseDay by pursuing research inspired by #KBGsyndrome patients and their families with the help of @KBGFdn. Pictures were taken during the summer :)
Read about the next generation of talented researchers that participated in our 2020 Summer Studentship program!
A special thank-you goes out to @StolleryKids and @LoisHoleHosp for funding our amazing students!
