One current focus of PMSF is utilizing a family registry detailing specific deletions and symptoms of those affected. This registry is a one of a kind database that can be used for research purposes. The foundation's genetic registry is providing researches with 'never-before-available' data and biosamples. The research focusing on the genetic causes of autism is resulting in life changing discoveries, many of which will eventually lead to better lives for millions of kids on the spectrum. The foundation’s research grants help fund some of the most brilliant minds working on the most advanced genetic research.
