Mission
The mission of the Noonan Syndrome Foundation is to support, educate and advocate for those diagnosed with Noonan's Syndrome by supporting research for the development of effective treatments, and ultimately, a cure for the syndrome. Noonan's Syndrome is identified by a genetic mutation in the RAS/MAPK pathway and is expressed in many ways, over numerous systems in patients. The Noonan Syndrome Foundation supports patients and families by providing information online and in regular publications, holding regional events, conferences and support groups. Connecting patients and families to caregivers familiar with Noonan Syndrome is of the utmost importance ot the Foundation as well. Another goal is to increase public awareness of Noonan Syndrome to allow for accurate diagnosis by medical providers and to allow for those not affected by the syndrome to understand the challenges of those affected and to increase financial support
