HECTD1 Variant

What is the HECTD1 Variant?

The HECTD1 variant is a rare genetic change now recognized as a disease-causing condition. HECTD1 helps regulate how cells grow and develop; when altered, it can affect brain and body function in ways researchers are only beginning to understand. Because it’s so uncommon, every confirmed case helps advance science and care.

Why This Discovery Matters

With recent recognition of HECTD1 as a defined condition—supported by community efforts like Brendan’s Buddies Charity Golf Tournament—researchers can pursue:

  • More targeted studies and clinical trials

  • Better care guidelines and treatment pathways

  • Stronger community connections for families

We’re Looking for People with the HECTD1 Variant

If you or a loved one carries a HECTD1 variant, we would like to connect with you. Your story and medical history can help researchers:

  • Understand the full range of symptoms

  • Track how the condition progresses

  • Identify potential therapies and interventions
