TFE3 is a very rare metabolic genetic condition which causes intellectual disability, mobility issues, hypotonia, GI issues, seizures and in some pigmentary mosaicism.

There are currently 55 children worldwide, diagnosed.Ā 

My son Remy is living with this condition and he is the first child in Australia to be diagnosed.Ā 

There is very little research in regards to this condition, as it is newly recognised.Ā 

Help me gather the attention we desperately need.Ā 


The links attached have more information on the condition.Ā
