Mission: Founded in 1983, the LSA is an international, all-volunteer, non-profit organization made up of parents, friends, professionals, and others who are interested in helping children with Lowe syndrome and their families. Lowe syndrome is a rare genetic condition affecting males that results in multiple handicaps and serious health problems. There is no cure, but many of the symptoms can be treated effectively. With the help of the LSA, researchers have added significantly to the body of knowledge about Lowe syndrome, and parents have benefited greatly from the mutual support and information provided by the organization.
