Catalan Association of Neurofibromatosis

In January 1998, the Catalan Association of Neurofibromatosis (ACNefi) was founded. It is a non-profit mutual aid association that offers help to affected individuals and families through mutual help groups, informative activities and informational books about the disease.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a set of genetic disorders that cause innumerable tumors that grow along different types of nerves and which can also affect the development of non-nervous tissues such as bones or skin.

Andrés Marcio Foundation, children against laminopathy

The Andrés Marcio Foundation, children against laminopathy, is a non-profit organization based in Spain but with an international character, whose objective is to find a definitive cure for this disease.

Laminopathy is a congenital muscular dystrophy characterized by the absence of motor acquisitions, loss of head control, respiratory failure and cardiac abnormalities.
