Founded in 2016, United MSD Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving an international community of Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency families, researchers, and care providers. We exist to bring awareness to MSD, fund research toward treatment, and support families through education, resources, and community.
Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency (MSD) is a rare genetic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease caused by the build up of cellular waste throughout the body leading to neurologic regression and multisystemic symptoms.
