Overview
Mission
The mission of the Yash Gandhi Foundation is to raise awareness, build patient advocacy, and sustain research efforts into finding a cure for Mucolipidosis II (I-Cell Disease).
What it reported doing in 2024
Interim results from the two research studies have not shown any benefit of small compounds that can increase the expression of alternate M6P-independent receptors in GNPT deficient cells that can target newly synthesized non-M6P modified lysosomal enzymes. The research is still ongoing to investigate additional small compounds.
