When we launched two years ago, our vision was simple: to raise awareness of PURA syndrome, to support families, and to drive research that will lead to treatments.

Real progress is never made alone. It’s made 2-gether.

Happy 2nd birthday PURA Foundation Australia. 💜
Let the bubbles begin… 🫧

PURA syndrome is a rare neuro-developmental disorder. The PURA gene is essential for the formation of pur-alpha, a protein which controls the activity of various genes, transport of different RNA molecules and generation of multiple proteins and is also vital for DNA replication.
