Support and research

Research is vital in understanding what causes genetic disorders and how they can be treated.  Funding from Jeans for Genes is helping scientists across the country to carry out research into a wide range of disorders.

We help a range of charities each year to offer vital support and information to their members.

Finding out your child has a genetic disorder is a difficult and worrying time.
