Advancing Research. Supporting Families. Driving Discovery.

The TBRS Community is driving patient-centered research forward! We prioritize what matters most to families, fund the development of critical research tools to de-risk scientific work, and build an engaged, educated patient community ready to participate in studies. We’re actively advancing clinical trial readiness and welcome researchers and clinicians to collaborate with us.

Resources for Clinicians

We provide clinicians with practical tools to better serve patients and families:

TBRS Community Research Roadmap

What Is a Research Roadmap?

A Research Roadmap helps us plan where we’re going, how we’ll get there, and what milestones we need to reach along the way. Just like using a map for a journey, our Roadmap guides our scientific path—step by step, discovery by discovery.

Why We Created It

Communicates our shared goals with the research community

Inspires and aligns scientists, doctors, and families

Keeps our work focused and impactful

Tracks progress toward better treatments

This Roadmap is based on patient and family priorities. We believe that research should be driven by the needs of those living with TBRS.

TBRS Community Research Roadmap

A Community Effort

This isn’t just a document—it’s a movement. Our Roadmap shows what’s possible when families, researchers, and clinicians unite around a common goal. We invite you to explore it, use it, and become part of the journey.

TBRS & DNMT3A Patient Registry

In partnership with the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), our registry collects longitudinal, patient-reported and clinician-confirmed data to power future studies and improve care. Our registry helps to:

Identify key health risks

Understand symptoms and changes across the lifespan

Develop care guidelines and treatment strategies

Prepare for clinical trials 

Inform cellular and animal studies

Explore gene therapy, drug development, drug repurposing, and ASO therapy

Powerful Integration: Registry data from many TBRS patients can be linked to their individual biorepository samples, creating a unique data package that accelerates TBRS research and understanding.

Collaborative Research Network Updates

We host regular events—including our Collaborative Research Network Conference—to share insights, elevate family priorities, and facilitate collaboration across fields.

Collaborate With Us

The TBRS Community offers everything researchers need to accelerate progress: genetic reports, matched biorepository samples, iPSC lines, patient-reported data, and a recontactable registry. Our families are motivated, research-ready, and educated about the value of participation. Through our Collaborative Research Network, we foster open collaboration, resource sharing, and deep care for the TBRS community.
