CASK Gene Awareness Day

CASK Gene Awareness Day is observed annually on 15 July by the CASK Gene Foundation and rare disease communities worldwide.

The observance raises awareness of CASK gene disorders, rare genetic conditions that primarily affect brain development, neurological function, vision, and overall growth.

Established by the CASK Gene Foundation, the day promotes early diagnosis, scientific research, family support, education, and advocacy for individuals living with CASK-related disorders.

It is marked through awareness campaigns, educational programmes, fundraising events, patient advocacy initiatives, community outreach, and global social media campaigns.
