ABOUT US

Cure CLCN4 is a UK-registered charity focused on providing support , raising awareness and, funding scientific research for effective treatments for CLCN4 -related condition. Cure CLCN4 was founded by Peter Trill and Gina Tan (W Tan), the parents of Daphne, a little girl with CLCN4 -related condition.

Cure CLCN4 was set up with the goal of advancing the muchneeded basic science and translational research in this condition. It is built on the foundation of hope and commitment, that one day there would be a cure for Daphne and children like her.

About CLCN4-related condition

CLCN4 -related neurodevelopmental condition (CLCN4-NDC) is a rare genetic condition that can affect brain development and learning. People with CLCN4 -NDC may have intellectual disability, as well as epilepsy, behavioural challenges, movement difficulties, and other symptoms. So far, just over 150 families have been identified worldwide, but the true number of people affected is still unknown. Because the condition is so rare and still not widely recognised, many families face a long journey to get answers. There is also very limited information about how the condition develops and why it affects people so differently. Symptoms and severity can vary widely from one person to another. Since so little is currently known about CLCN4-NDC, there are no targeted treatments yet, and much more research is urgently needed.

Our mission

To improve the understanding and treatment of CLCN4 -related condition through research, support for diagnosed individuals and their families, and awareness initiatives. We are committed to creating collaborations among scientists, healthcare professionals, and the patient community to develop effective treatments and improve the lives of those living with CLCN4 -related condition.

Our vision

A world where a diagnosis of a CLCN4 -related condition comes with hope and support, not uncertainty. We aim to transform the landscape of CLCN4 research, ensuring that every diagnosed family has access to precise, comprehensive information, effective disease-specific therapies, and a supportive community.

Community support

Although the focus at Cure CLCN4 is to move the research forward, we also aim to support the CLCN4 community. Below are some of our initiatives:

Family Conferences : We have held three online meetings for individuals with CLCN4 -related condition and their families. During these conferences we invite speakers working on CLCN4 -related condition to explain the current state of research in an accessible, family-friendly format. We also include Q&As, a panel of expert clinicians and scientists, and give families the opportunity to ask questions.

Informational resources : Most information about CLCN4 -related condition is available via research publications. Cure CLCN4 aims to make this information accesible to families of all over the world by providing familyfriendly summaries of recent publications (https://cureclcn4.org/palmer-etal-2022-a-summary-for-families/). We have also created the Cure CLCN4 Welcome Pack which contains expert-checked, up-to-date information on CLCN4 -condition including biology, genetics, clinical care, FAQs, etc (https://cureclcn4.org/resources_families/)

Community connection & support : We actively connect families around the world so they can share experiences, ask questions, and learn from others who understand the condition. We do this through a private Facebook group, via online community-wide family meetings, and by connecting families from the same country/area. For many, this is the first time they meet someone facing similar challenges.

Trustees’ report continued

The 2025 Family Conference was the charity’s largest family meeting to date and provided an opportunity for families to hear updates, ask questions and connect with others with shared experience. Translation support helped make the event more accessible to non-English-speaking families. The charity also expanded accessible resources for families, including the Cure CLCN4 Welcome Pack, which was translated into multiple languages and made available online. Cure CLCN4 also helped identify families with variants of uncertain significance and supported appropriate referral to clinical and research experts, contributing to wider efforts to improve understanding of CLCN4 variants.

Awareness, communications and community building

The charity continued to raise awareness of CLCN4-related condition through its website, social media and communications activity. During the year, Cure CLCN4 shared updates about research, events, family resources and scientific developments. Communications activity helped increase visibility of the condition, support family engagement and encourage participation in the registry and other research-related activities.

Overall impact

Overall, Cure CLCN4’s work in 2025 made a tangible difference by strengthening the research infrastructure for CLCN4-related condition, increasing patient registry participation, improving access to family information and support, and building collaboration across families, clinicians and researchers. The charity’s activities helped ensure that a very rare condition remains visible, studied and better understood, while laying foundations for improved care, future therapeutic research and greater support for affected families worldwide.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total Income for the year was £184,961 (2024: £88,637) split between unrestricted income of £166,302 and restricted income of £18,659.

The charities accounts show a deficit of £8,657 (2024: £3,401 surplus.)

This is our sixth year of operations, during which we have continued to strengthen both our research programme and our support for the CLCN4 community. Over the past year, we have made important progress in research, including the generation of the first two induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines and the development of a strategic research plan to help guide future priorities. In addition, two of the three Cure CLCN4-funded research projects have now been completed. Alongside this, our family community has continued to grow, and we remain committed to providing connection, information and practical resources to those affected by CLCN4-related condition. We have also continued to expand our fundraising efforts to support both current activities and future research. This year, we were also pleased to celebrate our fourth scientific conference and our third family meeting, both of which continue to strengthen collaboration, shared learning and community engagement.

CURE CLCN4 (a company limited by guarantee) Trustees’ report continued

POLICY ON RESERVES

The Trustees have adopted a Reserves Policy which sets out the charity’s approach to reserves, including the definition of free reserves, why reserves are held, and how the target level is calculated, monitored and replenished. The policy applies to unrestricted funds only and defines free reserves as unrestricted funds available for general use after deducting designated funds and unrestricted tangible fixed assets. The Trustees have determined that Cure CLCN4 should maintain free reserves equivalent to 5–6 months of planned operating expenditure. This level is considered sufficient to manage temporary income gaps, meet unexpected costs, provide orderly wind-down funding if required, and allow the charity to respond to time-sensitive strategic opportunities. At 31 December 2025, the charity held free reserves of £(8,657) (2024: £3,401). This is below the target range set by the Trustees. The Trustees continue to monitor reserves regularly and will agree actions to restore reserves to the target range, including cost control, targeted fundraising and careful management of future commitments.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

In future periods, Cure CLCN4 plans to finalise the current CLCN4 Pilot Grant programme, including completion of final reporting and consideration of how the data and findings generated can inform future research priorities. The charity will continue to support initiatives aimed at improving understanding of the basic biology of CLCN4 and the mechanisms underlying CLCN4related condition.

Cure CLCN4 will continue to grow the patient registry and support families to complete the registration process. The charity also intends to expand the range of CLCN4 variants for which patient-derived samples are available, helping to build research resources that can support future functional studies.

The charity will continue to grow both the research and family communities through scientific meetings, family events, direct family engagement and international collaboration. It will also continue to create and translate accessible resources for families, ensuring that information is available to international families and those who do not speak English as a first language.

To support these plans, Cure CLCN4 will seek to strengthen fundraising activity, increase the number of grant and trust applications submitted, and grow grant and corporate funding. The charity will also continue to develop its communications and partnerships to raise awareness of CLCN4-related condition and broaden support for its work.
