THE CARTER CENTERS FOR BRAIN RESEARCH IN HOLOPROSENCEPHALY AND RELATED MALFORMATIONS

The Carter Centers have established the International HPE Registry as a way to create a comprehensive list of patients diagnosed with holoprosencephaly not only in the United States but also worldwide. Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a medical condition that is not well understood. The International HPE Registry provides research scientists with a more accurate understanding of the number of HPE cases diagnosed and serves as a vehicle to collect clinical information to share with other researchers. It also provides a means for families to contact other families and allows families to receive information regarding potential research initiatives in which they may want to participate.

Even if you have lost a child diagnosed with HPE, you may still register your child. Please complete the form according to what your child was able to accomplish and his/her limitations. We appreciate information on every child with HPE.
