About the Program

A therapeutic approach using a small molecule to improve synapse function by addressing BDNF signaling (Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor), which has been shown to be abnormal in Angelman syndrome neurons. This approach improves the communication between two neurons, which is impacted in AS.

Investigational Drug Name
SYN-3

Program News

A new publication represents a possible small-molecule approach to potentially treat the synaptic dysfunction observed in Angelman syndrome.
