Our Urgent Mission

To promote and support research advancements that will lead to improvements in clinical outcomes, life expectancy and quality of life for patients suffering from Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency.

Foundation Goals:

  •  To further the breakthroughs in various research areas including gene therapy which has stopped the progression of MSD in lab tests. These are the first steps in potentially treating or curing this condition. We are working to accelerate research to ensure that humans can benefit as soon as possible.
  • To create more public awareness of Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency.
  • To act as a voluntary support network for the exchange of information in an effort to be a central database to try to keep up-to-date patient numbers for those affected by Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency and their families.
