Our work with PROS research

PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) is a group of rare conditions that cause overgrowth of various parts of the body due to mutations in the PIK3CA gene. PROS is progressive and symptoms can be present at birth or develop in early childhood. In PROS conditions, malformations may be seen in several different areas of the body, including the lymphatic and vascular systems, bones, fat, and central nervous system, depending on the specific PROS condition. Overlap between conditions can be seen. The degree of severity can range from mild to severe and can cause pain, difficulty with mobility, complications of the blood, loss of function in body systems, and an array of neurological complications.

Specific PROS conditions include the following: CLAPO syndrome, CLOVES syndrome, facial Infiltrating lipomatosis (FIL), fibroadipose hyperplasia (FAO/FH), fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA), hemihyperplasia-multiple lipomatosis syndrome (HHML syndrome), hemimegalencephaly (HME), Isolated Lymphatic Malformations (ILM), Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS), and megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome (M-CM/MCAP). Some patients are diagnosed with a specific PROS condition, while others receive an umbrella diagnosis of PROS.

Treatment for a PROS condition may involve multiple surgeries, drug treatment, interventional radiology procedures, special education, and speech and physical therapies.

Our values & principles.

1
Patients own their data

We believe that the only way to keep data accessible to the researchers who need it is by enabling patients to own and control their own data. Patients decide for themselves whether they want to privately and securely contribute to research, rather than having the decision made on their behalf.

2
We protect patient privacy

We abide by a strict research consent and privacy policy. We only share de-identified data with researchers, foundations, and therapeutic companies with patients’ consent. Protecting the privacy of patients and ensuring the security of their information is our highest priority.

3
Researchers gain access

We aim to make useful data accessible to all researchers who have legitimate research questions or research programs. For academic research, we offer access without charge. We take research ethics seriously, and we have policies in place to ensure that research is conducted with integrity.

4
Inclusiveness in the community

We don’t like to take sides—we give all members of the community the option to get involved. Success in rare disease research takes a village and we always welcome additional collaborators who can advance and benefit from the mission.

5
Driving forward therapeutic development

Our primary mission is to accelerate drug development, so we prioritize generating insights specifically relevant to therapeutic research. We invest deeply in quality, security, and compliance to make this a reality.

Be part of research

AllStripes Research for PROS is approved and monitored by an independent ethics review board called WIRB (Western Institutional Review Board). WIRB is a group of people who review research studies to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects. They provide in-depth regulatory expertise to support development of research protocols and documentation.Read more.
