Fly Little Bird Foundation’s mission is to support and collaborate with the scientific and medical communities to identify and develop effective treatments and ultimately a cure for those adversely affected by variants of the TBL1XR1 gene.

For the first time, families affected by TBL1XR1-related disorders around the world have the opportunity to contribute to a single, international registry designed to advance research and prepare the path toward future therapies.

Why does this matter?

Before new treatments can be developed, researchers first need to understand the condition. They need to know:

· How many individuals are affected worldwide

· How symptoms vary from person to person

· How the condition changes over time

· What challenges families face every day

The Global TBL1XR1 Registry will help answer these questions and create the foundation for future natural history studies, clinical research, and trial readiness.

The survey is comprehensive because every aspect of a patient's experience matters. The more we learn about the TBL1XR1 community, the better equipped researchers will be to develop meaningful interventions in the future.

This is more than a survey. It is the foundation for the future of TBL1XR1 research.

How to Participate

· Access the registry: CoRDS Patient Enrollment System - Activation Form

· Instructions on how to fill it out: Participant Portal-Activation | Videos & Movies on Vimeo

· Fill in the questionnaire at your own pace. You can save and submit it later.

· Submit your responses.

· Share the registry with other TBL1XR1 families, clinicians, and advocacy groups.

Why Your Participation Matters

· Every patient strengthens the dataset.

· Every family contributes valuable knowledge.

· Every registration helps make TBL1XR1 more visible to researchers and future partners.

· Every data point brings us closer to better understanding, clinical studies, and ultimately therapies.

No patient is too young, too old, too mildly affected, or too severely affected. Every story matters. Every patient counts.

Together, we can build the global foundation for TBL1XR1 research and future treatments.

Tentative Agenda for TBL1XR1 Families Forum (May 8-9 2024) at Massachusetts General Hospital:

MAY 8: CLINICIAN VISIT DAY. Children/families to see Dr. Nagy and other specialists at Massachusetts General Hospital. The three main specialists who will be available are: Dr. Nagy, a pediatric neurologist specializing in TBL1XR1, Dr. Neumeyer, a child neurologist specializing in autism/ASD; and Dr. Wishart, who specializes in pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation. Those interested in having their children see other specialties should discuss that when they reach out to Dr. Nagy’s coordinator (contact details below).
MAY 9: TBL1XR1 FAMILIES FORUM. This will be held in a conference room at Massachusetts General. We will be reserving another room close by that will be set up for the kids to play (hopefully with volunteers to help). I don’t have the entire agenda nailed down yet, but currently plan to have the following:
· Patient experience roundtable – for families who participate and want to introduce themselves, their child, and their experience with TBL1XR1.
· Dr. Nagy and other clinicians/researchers to speak about TBL1XR1 – the gene itself and its function, TBL1XR1-related disorder/Pierpont Syndrome, and potential pathways for treatments.
· Rebecca Oberman – Program Manager for Center for Rare Neurological Diseases at Mass General and Executive Director of a rare disease foundation, to speak about how to be engaged as a patient community and fundraising ideas.
· Speaker from Mass General’s Pediatric Supportive & Palliative Care/Courageous Patients Network – speaking about maximizing quality of life for children with serious disease, and coordinating and improving families’ experience of care. (Don’t have these lined up yet, but working on it.)
· End with a fun activity for the children (music/singing-related maybe?)
If you have ideas about other speakers or topics, let me know! Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Program would end by early afternoon.
If you plan to attend, and have not done so already, please reach out to Dr. Nagy’s coordinator, Lizbeth De la Rose, (617) 724-1330, or [email protected], to set up your clinical visit for May 8. Dr. Nagy and the others will see as many patients as they can, but will be limited to the number they can see in a day. I’m working on getting a special rate for us at the Wyndham Hotel, which is right next to the hospital – details to come. Also, please register in the google excel document for my planning purposes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C5CHHiDcr8IVt0ILUUQZeRwbV7RhJ7LIP11dXHd5rWI/edit =0
