**PRRT2 Gene Alliance** is officially in Phase 1. We are currently laying the groundwork and building out the ultimate open-source knowledge base for the PRRT2 gene. The site is under construction, but the community is open. [Join us on the ground floor.](https://facebook.com/groups/prrt2) 🧬
{% endhint %}

## Welcome

> **Our Mission:** To provide a comprehensive, scientifically-grounded hub for education, research tracking, and community support for all things related to the PRRT2 gene.

Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, a researcher, or someone newly diagnosed and searching for answers — this is a space built to help you understand PRRT2 clearly and completely. Real science, explained in plain language, alongside the human side of what this gene does to a life.
