4 DYSAUTONOMIA FOUNDATION The Dysautonomia Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports medical treatment, research, public awareness and social services for the benefit of people afflicted with Familial Dysautonomia (FD). FD is a life-threatening Jewish Genetic Disease that causes dysfunction of the autonomic and sensory nervous systems. Those afflicted with FD cannot do many things that normal people take for granted. They do not feel heat or cold. They lack even the most basic reflexes, and often experience severe cardiac, respiratory, orthopedic, gastrointestinal, ophthalmologic and renal problems. Frequent hospitalizations and multiple surgeries are common. Blood pressure, swallowing and pain sensation are a few of the functions that are dangerously compromised. Crying without tears is one of the most striking symptoms of FD. The Dysautonomia Foundation is the primary source of funding for the Dysautonomia Treatment Center at NYU Langone Medical Center. The Foundation funded research that led to the discovery of the FD gene twelve years ago. This has made carrier and prenatal screening available to every Jewish couple. Our clinical research laboratory continues to unravel the mysteries of FD, and medical research is investigating therapies to help slow the progression of this degenerative disease. Finding the FD gene has led to important breakthroughs in understanding the physiology of FD. Yet people with FD still face tremendous challenges, and our work is dedicated to improving and extending the lives of people suffering from FD with the hope of one day discovering a cure.
