Genes and You
|
|
|
|
|
J4G aims to help people that have problems with their health because of a faulty or missing gene.
Genetic disorders can affect 1 in 33 children and many cannot be prevented but are due to the ‘genetic lottery’ of life.

Living With A Genetic Condition
|
|
|
|
|
Did you know that there are over 5,000 genetic conditions?
And that one child in every 33 is born with a genetic disorder?

Jeans for Genes has spent $30 million in helping thousands of children with genetic disorders and finding the causes, treatments and cures of various conditions. If you would like to find out more about how you might help and you live in the USA please click How To Get Involved.

How To Get Involved |

Jeans for Genes has raised $30 million that will benefit children with genetic disorders, by funding research into the causes and cures. Children suffering from one of a number of conditions will benefit directly from the research. Other children will benefit in the longer term, as the knowledge gained can be applied more widely.
Why should I help?
Because so much of the state-of-the-art research on genetic disorders is being done in the USA, Jeans for Genes is looking at ways of sponsoring research in centers in the USA, including the National Institutes of Health, the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, NC, and the University of Iowa.
We would like to consider more projects in the USA and we are asking you to swell those funds, so we can help more children and, ultimately, cure some of these conditions.
