PURA syndrome is a rare neuro-developmental disorder. The PURA gene is essential for the formation of pur-alpha, a protein which controls the activity of various genes, transport of different RNA molecules and generation of multiple proteins and is also vital for DNA replication.

February 28th is Rare Disease Day, a day where we recognise the millions of individuals around the world living with rare disease.
Although every diagnosis is different, one thing unites us all: the strength of community.
