ZC4H2 Research Foundation: Hope through science
ZC4H2 Associated Rare Disorders (ZARD) is an extremely rare genetic condition which affects people in many ways and has a profound effect on their quality of life as well as that of their families.

The ZC4H2 Research Foundation aims to promote and support the development of viable therapies and standards of clinical care for the treatment of ZARD, in the hope of improving the lives of those affected
by it, and to be a central hub of information for the ZARD community.

You can learn more at www.zc4h2foundation.com
What is ZC4H2 Associated Rare Disorders ("ZARD")?
ZC4H2 Associated Rare Disorders (ZARD) is an ultra-rare genetic condition with central and peripheral nervous system involvement caused by a harmful mutation in the ZC4H2 gene.

The ZC4H2 gene is located on the X chromosome and encodes the ZC4H2 protein essential for normal development.

Boys and girls can both be affected by ZARD and have different symptoms in various severities. ZARD is a spectrum rather than a defined group of symptoms. ZARD has been diagnosed in children of all ethnicities with cases found all over the world.
