Why
"Tough Genes"?
A Name with Meaning
The children with IRF2BPL genetic mutations are TOUGH. They push hard to reach milestones and push even harder to try and slow down regressions. Their families are no whimps either. IRF2BPL is also a tough gene to figure out. Researchers are working hard to understand how the IRF2BPL gene works and how changes in the gene effect the human body.
