The Sturge-Weber Foundation

The Sturge-Weber Foundation We are here to improve the quality of life and care for families with the rare disease Sturge-Weber syndrome and associated PWB and KT conditions.

What is Sturge-Weber syndrome? Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare disease caused by a GNAQ gene mutation that is present at birth. One in 20,000-50,000 children will be born with SWS each year. This disorder is not inherited and causes a birthmark on the face, glaucoma, epileptic seizures, and developmental disabilities. Each case of SWS is unique, with varying degrees of progressive medical issues. Research is essential so doctors may improve care and quality of life.

Big news for families and the SWS community! 🧬 New research shows that blood markers may help us understand—and someday monitor—Sturge-Weber Syndrome and related conditions. These ‘biomarkers’ could lead to earlier detection and better treatments for brain health. Proud to support groundbreaking work that brings hope to our community!
