Overview
CANVAS Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by mutations in the EVC2 gene. It usually affects individuals during early childhood, leading to a range of physical, cognitive, and behavioral health issues. Symptoms include abnormalities in the eyes, skeletal structure, brain, and heart, as well as potentially life-threatening seizures. Treatment typically focuses on controlling symptoms and improving quality of life, but no cure currently exists. CANVAS Syndrome is a devastating condition for families and medical professionals alike, and there is a need for increased research and awareness to improve diagnosis and care.
