What the charity does

As a Charity, we are raising money to fund research into Microvillous Atrophy, a devastating and extremely rare condition of the bowel. We are concentrating on working towards discovering the mutations of the MYO5B gene, which was identified in August 2008 as the gene responsible for this condition. We are also helping to raise awareness of organ donation
