What the petition asks
STXBP1 encephalopathy is a rare genetic condition characterized by abnormal brain function (encephalopathy) and intellectual disability.
We want the Government to increase funding for research into and treatment of STXBP1 encephalopathy, to help sufferers and their families.
We believe the NHS is far behind other countries in their knowledge of and treatment available for this terrible condition. Additional funding could held address this gap, and identify new treatments.
