Snyder-Robinson Syndrome
Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS) is a very rare genetic disorder. SRS causes intellectual disability, seizure disorders, hypotonia, osteoporosis, and other medical problems. Some SRS patients can't walk or talk. Its effects can be devastating.

The Importance of SRS Research
SRS is also the only disease known to be caused by an imbalance of polyamines - small molecules that are present in every living organism. They're necessary for normal development of brain, bone, and other cells- yet little is known about how they function. So the study of SRS presents a unique opportunity to understand polyamines and the role they might play in many common diseases.
Last year, Team SRS! participated for the first time in the Million Dollar Bike Ride. As a result of your generous donations and 100% matching donations from Penn Medicine, two $53,000 grants were awarded for research into Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS) to Dr. Charles Schwartz of the Greenwood Genetic Center and Dr. Fernando Fierro, of the University of California, Davis. We hope their research will soon help us to develop much-needed treatments for individuals with SRS!

We're very grateful to the Penn Medicine Orphan Disease Center for this unique and wonderful opportunity to raise funds for rare disease research!
100% of donations are used to fund scientific & medical research
Your donation will go directly to fund important research into SRS that has the promise to improve the quality of life of SRS patients, and to try to shed light on a number of more common diseases - and the Penn Medicine's Million Dollar Bike Ride will match your donation!
