An association driven by families, for families
Since 2018, the MED13L SYNDROME association has been working to bring together affected families, support research, and raise awareness among healthcare professionals. Together, we are building a more supportive and informed future around MED13L syndrome.
Our Story
Created in March 2018 by three families from Paris and Nantes, the association was born out of a vital need: to break out of isolation, understand MED13L syndrome, and support scientific advancements.
Our Missions
To raise awareness of MED13L syndrome

Every day, we strengthen the links between families, healthcare professionals, and researchers.
