The HOPE for Harvey foundation honestly can’t thank you enough for your donation! We’re so grateful for the wonderful community we have around us and so many families and individuals like you who are helping us pave a way toward a treatment for DLG4! 100% of all donations go directly to researchers, as our foundation covers all of the operating costs of HOPE for Harvey. We will keep everyone updated on our progress through our website and social media!

Our first round of donations went directly toward various projects, including: Creating stem cell lines (iPSCs), which are currently being derived into neurons in order to run various treatment options; the initial development phases of a non-harmful virus gene therapy, called an AAV, which can carry a new healthy copy of DLG4 into the body; and designing ASOs, which target the RNA. Subsequent donations will go toward the next phases of pre-clinical treatment development including: Testing small molecules (drugs already developed) on iPSC-derived neurons for improvement in protein function and cellular functioning, and ongoing preclinical development of an AAV gene therapy and a base editor gene therapy, which can target single letter mutations. We have also received grants to create two DLG4 animal models, a mouse and a rat, representing two different types of DLG4 variant function.

We truly would not be able to accomplish this research and hopefully create a FDA-approved treatment for DLG4 without your support! We love to recognize our Platinum, Gold, and Silver Donors on our website.

We’d love to include you in our newsletter/email updates on the research and send a proper thank you card. Please feel free to respond to this email: jackie@hopeforharvey.org if you would like to share an email and/or address with HOPE for Harvey!
