SCN8A Awareness Day

SCN8A Epilepsy is a rare disorder that is known to affect around ~550 individuals worldwide. It can cause severe epilepsy, developmental delay, and other medical challenges.
​

​The gene SCN8A was isolated in humans by Michael Hammer, PhD, a geneticist who found the gene in his own daughter, Shay, soon after her death in 2011.

​To honor Shay and all of those with SCN8A, The Cute Syndrome Foundation helped launch SCN8A Awareness Day on February 9th, Shay Hammer's birthday.
