Update: After deciding to include all of the genes, we asked our community if we should change our name. The overwhelming response was to keep our name the same but simply because we were already well known as CureGRIN. As an alternative to changing our name, we updated our tagline and logos to reflect that all of the genes and receptors are represented by our foundation. We are “CureGRIN Foundation: Seeking treatments and cures for GRIA, GRID, GRIK, and GRIN Disorders.
