Join the research community

If you have been affected by Sturge-Weber as a patient or caregiver you can join the Sturge-Weber Foundation Patient Registry.

Our goal is to use the basic data collected here in the registry to amplify the voice of those affected by Sturge-Weber, no matter where they are in the world.  Our mission is to give you a sense of inclusion in the cholangiocarcinoma research community and to show researchers that there is a motivated and engaged community of affected individuals that are committed to participating in research in Sturge-Weber and related conditions.

Securing Your Data is Important to Us

Protecting patient data, while providing diverse stakeholders with broad access to the aggregated information, is our top priority. This registry is managed by our partners at Invitae in a rigorous manner to allow compliance with HIPAA and FISMA data and patient protection laws.

Real and Meaningful Data Sharing

We believe that research advances can be made made faster when data collection is standardized and patients participate.

The American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) recently stated that the sharing of de-identified genetic data is "crucial" to the advancement of personalized medicine. The ACMG joins the American Medical Association (AMA), the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC), and other professional societies in making this strong practice recommendation.
