Hello. I hope everyone has had a great week. I have a few updates to share:

• Launching the TBRS and DNMT3A Registry (2.0)!

• • • We have been working to update our Patient Registry for some time now, and are excited to announce that the TBRS and DNMT3A Patient Registry has officially launched!
      • Our goal with this new registry is to collect data more efficiently and make it easier for families to complete!
      • Some of the other changes included in our new registry are  using standardized surveys, adding Heyn Sproul Jackson Syndrome to our Registry (HESJAS is a different syndrome also caused by the DNMT3A gene), and translating the Registry into other languages.
    • Steps to participate in the updated Registry are below:
      • IF YOU PARTICIPATED IN THE REGISTRY IN THE PAST:

• THANK YOU to our TBRS Challenge participants!

• • • We have officially launched the 2025 TBRS Exercise Challenge! 
      • Through this challenge, individuals with TBRS commit to a daily exercise of their choice in exchange for pledges and donations to the TBRS Community. This presents an exciting fundraising opportunity while encouraging healthy practices for individuals with TBRS.
    • Thank you to all of the superstars participating in the Challenge this year! It’s amazing to see what you can do!
    • To support, visit the TBRS Exercise Challenge website.
      • All of the funds raised go to improving the Patient Registry and making data more easily accessible for research!
      • If you have any questions or need help, please contact me at [email protected].

• Upcoming: TBRS Friends and Family Support Group – April 26, 2025

• • This event will take place Sunday, April 26, 2025 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time via Zoom
    • Here is the link to join: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7181674734?omn=84244123124
  • The TBRS Community offers a monthly Friends and Family Support Group via Zoom. Families from all around the world can participate. We create a safe place to share thoughts, feelings, concerns, and emotions without judgment. The meeting seems to take a different shape every time we gather—sometimes we focus on sharing resources or experiences, but we always seek to make everyone feel comfortable and supported. 
  • Any parents or caregivers of someone diagnosed with TBRS are welcome. 

Thanks! Please reach out to me with any questions at [email protected].
