LOUIE'S HUWE: A 501C3 NONPROFIT DEDICATED TO HUWE1 RESEARCH
Louie is a little boy with a HUWE1-related genetic condition. In 2021, Louie's parents established a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization in the United States - Louie's Huwe (EIN: 86-1930096). With a fantastic team including medical and genetic experts, Louie's Huwe is growing and HUWE1.org is supporting this.
The core purpose of Louie's Huwe is to drive medical research into HUWE1-related genetic conditions and to develop treatments for issues faced by Louie and other children and adults like him around the world.
Through science and medical advancements, Louie's Huwe aims to better lives with discoveries that will help children and adults living with these conditions as well as future babies that are diagnosed.
