Today we honor the HNRNPU community — families, researchers, and advocates who are driving progress and hope for those living with HNRNPU-related neurodevelopmental disorders.

We are grateful for experts like Dr. Meena Balasubramanian, whose groundbreaking research and collaboration with families continue to advance understanding and care.

Together, we’re building a better future for rare — one discovery, one connection, and one story at a time.

Get Travel Ready 🛩️ Preparing for your HNRNP-RNDD Gene Family Meeting & Scientific Conference Hosted by The Yellow Brick Road Project & The HNRNP Family Foundation

Embark on your journey with confidence. Here are some helpful steps to prepare for your trip to Issaquah, Washington July 28-30:
• Passport & Visa Check
If traveling from outside for the USA, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
• Health Precautions
Get specific travel advice from your doctor. If you need extra time boarding, or other accommodations, contact your airline to request a D.P.N.A. code to be added to your ticket.
• Itinerary Review
Consider using social stories to prepare your traveler. Arrive to the airport early. Find your gate number on your ticket and utilize airport apps to help navigate, if available.
• Security
For a smoother security check in, consider programs such as TSA Cares, The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower 🌻 Lanyard, or TSA pre-check.
• Travel Insurance
Consider travel insurance and understand your cancellation policies for air travel and hotel stay in case of unexpected emergencies.
• Pack Smart
Remember to pack medications in your carryon as well as activities (such as tablets, stickers, coloring books. etc) and snacks to keep your travelers occupied.

Get Travel Ready 🛩️ Preparing for your HNRNP-RNDD Gene Family Meeting & Scientific Conference Hosted by The Yellow Brick Road Project & The HNRNP Family Foundation

Embark on your journey with confidence. Here are some helpful steps to prepare for your trip to Issaquah, Washington July 28-30:
• Passport & Visa Check
If traveling from outside for the USA, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
• Health Precautions
Get specific travel advice from your doctor. If you need extra time boarding, or other accommodations, contact your airline to request a D.P.N.A. code to be added to your ticket.
• Itinerary Review
Consider using social stories to prepare your traveler. Arrive to the airport early. Find your gate number on your ticket and utilize airport apps to help navigate, if available.
• Security
For a smoother security check in, consider programs such as TSA Cares, The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower 🌻 Lanyard, or TSA pre-check.
• Travel Insurance
Consider travel insurance and understand your cancellation policies for air travel and hotel stay in case of unexpected emergencies.
• Pack Smart
Remember to pack medications in your carryon as well as activities (such as tablets, stickers, coloring books. etc) and snacks to keep your travelers occupied.

💜 Ellie is 15 months old and the sunshine of her parents’ lives. She loves giraffes, being in the water, strawberries, and all music. She was born with an extremely rare genetic condition called HNRNPU, but wasn’t diagnosed until she was 13 months old following a very scary 4 month period of seizures that caused her to stop breathing completely. Ellie also has hypotonia, strabismus, and developmental delay as a result of her condition. She has been in physical therapy and feeding/speech therapy with Early Intervention since she was 7 months old. She is followed by 7 specialists and she sleeps with a hospital provided monitor every night that will alarm and alert her parents if she stops breathing or if her heart stops in her sleep. Having the monitor has provided some peace of mind to her parents, but they are still living in a near constant state of fear, just bracing themselves for the next seizure and next hospital stay. Ellie is still too young to know exactly how the condition will affect her continued development as she gets older, but there is a lot of fear and worry for her parents in those unknowns too. If a treatment were available it would be a huge help toward alleviating these stressors and anxieties, while ensuring a better future for Ellie. Her family is very concerned about her development as she ages, which is why finding a treatment now is so critical.

🌟 Let’s help those with HNRNPU by raising awareness, funding research and developing treatments to help families, like Ellie’s, and have hope for a brighter future.

April 2nd is World Autism Day.
Autism is a developmental disability that affects the way people experience the world. This may include differences in processing senses, thinking, physically moving, communicating, socializing and going about daily living. Roughly 1/3 of those with HNRNPU are also diagnosed with autism.
💜 Spread kindness, empathy and create a more inclusive world every day.

Why purple for epilepsy?
🪻 Lavender is a shade of purple and was chosen to represent the various aspects of living with epilepsy, including isolation, struggle and hope. Purple Day is a global initiative with the aim of raising awareness about epilepsy.
💜 Better Future 4 U encourages people to wear purple today and engage in support for those living with epilepsy.
Epilepsy is very prevalent in individuals with HNRNPU with approximately 95% of patients experiencing seizures. While some treatment options may work, there is no cure for epilepsy.

Did you know…? The choice of purple or lavender to symbolize epilepsy awareness has historical roots and practical associations. Both colors have been linked to epilepsy awareness since ancient times. Vincent Van Gogh reportedly used lavender to ease his seizures, painting with it during the onset of seizures to potentially mitigate their severity. Additionally, the scent of lavender has been reported by many as beneficial in managing seizures due to the calming effect. These historical and practical connections likely contributed to the adoption of purple or lavender as representative colors for epilepsy awareness efforts.

What is HNRNPU? 🧬 Understanding the HNRNPU gene and its functions:
• HNRNPU is a gene situated on chromosome 1q44 that produces the Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein U (HNRNPU) protein.
• This protein is a part of the Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoproteins (HNRNP) group that plays a crucial role in DNA and RNA processing.
• The HNRNPU protein has various functions, including alternative splicing, which involves trimming and reorganizing RNA before it’s translated into a protein.
• The HNRNPU protein has various functions, including alternative splicing, which involves trimming and reorganizing RNA before it’s translated into a protein.
• The gene is expressed in different organs throughout the body, including the brain. However, mutations in the gene can cause epilepsy and neurodevelopmental delays, and it’s noteworthy that almost all cases are not inherited from a parent, but rather occur de novo.

🦓 Rare Disease Day is the globally-coordinated movement on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease.

Since its creation in 2008, Rare Disease Day has played a critical part in building an international rare disease community that is multi-disease, global, and diverse– but united in purpose.

Rare Disease Day is observed every year on 28 February (or 29 in leap years)—the rarest day of the year.
Rare Disease Day was set up and is coordinated by EURORDIS and 65+ national alliance patient organisation partners. Rare Disease Day provides an energy and focal point that enables rare diseases advocacy work to progress on the local, national and international levels.
Though Rare Disease Day is patient-led, everyone, including individuals, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, clinicians, policy makers, industry representatives and the general public, can participate in raising awareness and taking action today for this vulnerable population who require immediate and urgent attention.

By Sharing your colours via social media, events, illuminating buildings, monuments and homes, by sharing experiences online and with friends, by calling on policy makers and shining the light on people living with a rare disease, collectively we aim to change and improve lives of the 300 million people worldwide.
