SYNGAP1-related disorders are rare genetic disorders that affect Rainy Schlosser's daughter Hope and Jo Ashline's son Andrew. As of July 1, 2025, there are only 1,636 people in the world diagnosed with SYNGAP1. There is no cure. In each episode of SYNGAP1 Stories, first developed by Ashley Frye and continued by Rainy and Jo, we chat with SYNGAP1 parents, volunteers, caregivers, researchers, and partners about their journey with SYNGAP1 in their lives. Their joys and successes, as well as heartaches and advice, will be discussed in this heart-warming series as we support the SYNGAP1 community.
