We’re building a future full of potential

Welcome to a new community of action in support of individuals living with RORA gene variant related disorders. Together, we can accelerate research and connect families.

Let’s create a future where every RORA genetic diagnosis comes with clarity, connection, and care.

Charting the course

RORA Compass supports research from early discovery to meaningful treatments for individuals affected by RORA gene variant related neurodevelopmental disorders.

We unite families, clinicians, researchers, and advocates to accelerate research, drive therapeutic innovation, and empower individuals living with a RORA related disorder.

How we serve

  • A female scientist in a white lab coat looking through a microscope in a laboratory with various lab supplies on shelves behind her.

    Fundraise to accelerate research and therapeutic innovations

    We’re at a critical moment in time for gene therapy research, and we provide fundraising advocacy, monetary support, and patient access for our research heroes. Our first step - funding $100,000 in preclinical research to establish a RORA mouse colony with disease characteristics.

    Aggregate patient data to better understand RORA's impact

    We are in the process of determining the best way to aggregate patient data in collaboration with potential partners. This decision will be informed by both the research and patient communities.
