This week, in the first of two episodes, Dr. Daniel Correa speaks with families who share how SYNGAP1—a rare genetic neurologic disease that causes seizures and developmental delays—has impacted their loved ones and how SynGAP Research Fund (SRF) provides them with resources and community. Dr. Correa also speaks with Dr. Angel Aledo-Serrano, a neurologist and director at Vithas Madrid Neuroscience Institute. Dr. Aledo-Serrano explains SYNGAP1, when individuals should consider seeking genetic testing, and how it relates to other genetic neurologic conditions.  Additional Resources  SynGAP Research Fund (SRF)   Brain & Life: How Parents Advocate for Their Children with Rare Diseases   Learn more about autism spectrum disorder   Learn more about epilepsy   American Epilepsy Society (AES)   We want to hear from you!  Have a question or want to hear a topic featured on the Brain & Life Podcast?  Record a voicemail at 612-928-6206  Email us at BLpodcast@brainandlife.org  Social Media:    Guest: SynGAP Research Fund @cureSYNGAP1 (Twitter); Dr. Angel Aledo-Serrano @AledoNeuro (Twitter) @aledoneuro (Instagram)  Host: Dr. Daniel Correa @neurodrcorrea
