Join us for GRI Disorder Awareness Month in March

Get ready for GRI Disorder Awareness Month in March. CureGRIN, GRIN2B Foundation, and GRI parent support groups and associations are partnering in a month-long campaign for all GRI Disorders. Each GRIN, GRIA, GRIK, and GRID genes will be highlighted throughout the month. 

Join us as we share facts about GRI Disorders and inspiring and moving stories about GRI families around the world. We kickoff the event on Rare Disease Day on February 28. GRI Disorders will be celebrated along with approximately 7,000 other Rare Diseases.

GRI Disorders are genetic diseases related to ionotropic glutamate receptors. These receptors play an important role in learning and memory as well as other critical biological functions. Each GRIN, GRIA, GRIK, and GRID gene will be highlighted throughout the month.
