The PolG Foundation: Advancing Research and Hope for POLG Disorders
27 Nov, 2024
The PolG Foundation is committed to accelerating research efforts to develop effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for POLG mitochondrial disorders.
Like other complex mitochondrial diseases, POLG is marked by a multitude of diverse and variable symptoms, often leading to misunderstanding and a lack of adequate funding. This makes raising awareness and securing research support a constant challenge.
To confront this issue, The PolG Foundation has created a compelling 6-minute film. This short yet powerful piece offers a glimpse into the difficult reality faced by individuals like Frederik, who live with the devastating effects of a defect in the POLG (Polymerase Gamma) gene. It also highlights the incredible resilience of patients and the unwavering dedication of clinicians, scientists, and The PolG Foundation team, all united in their mission to transform this heartbreaking reality.
