The Schisis Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and resources to individuals and families affected by schisis, a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the eyes, ears, and face. The organization works to raise awareness of schisis, provide support to those affected, and fund research into treatments and cures.

The symptoms of Schisis Association vary depending on the type of schisis present. Common symptoms include:

• Abnormal eye shape (e.g. eyes that are too far apart or too close together)
• Abnormal eye movement (e.g. eyes that do not move in the same direction)
• Abnormal eyelid shape (e.g. droopy eyelids)
• Abnormal nose shape (e.g. flattened nose bridge)
• Abnormal ear shape (e.g. ears that are too small or too large)
• Abnormal facial features (e.g. wide-set eyes, wide mouth, or cleft lip/palate)
• Abnormal head shape (e.g. flat back of the head)
• Abnormal limb shape (e.g. short

Schisis association is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the development of the eyes, ears, and other parts of the face. It is usually caused by a mutation in the FOXC2 gene, which is responsible for the development of the face and eyes. Other causes of Schisis association include chromosomal abnormalities, such as trisomy 13 or trisomy 18, and environmental factors, such as exposure to certain medications or toxins during pregnancy.

The treatments for Schisis association vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual needs of the patient. Generally, treatment may include:

1. Surgery: Surgery may be necessary to correct any physical deformities caused by the condition.

2. Physical Therapy: Physical therapy can help improve strength, coordination, and mobility.

3. Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapy can help improve daily living skills and independence.

4. Speech Therapy: Speech therapy can help improve communication skills.

5. Behavioral Therapy: Behavioral therapy can help improve social skills and emotional regulation.

6. Medication: Medication may be prescribed to help manage symptoms such as seizures, anxiety, and depression.

7. Nutritional Therapy: Nutritional therapy can help ensure the patient is getting the proper nutrition to support their health.
