Major Development: A KAT6 Clinic Has Opened at Boston Children’s Hospital
We’re excited to share that a new multidisciplinary clinical program for individuals with KAT6A and KAT6B is now open at Boston Children’s Hospital, led by Dr. Olaf Bodamer and Dr. William Brucker. This clinic will serve as a true medical home for families, offering coordinated care across specialties.
The KAT6 Foundation is proud to have helped fund the development of this program, made possible through the generosity of our donors.
As the team continues organizing the clinic, families who are interested in care are encouraged to contact rarediseases@childrens.harvard.edu. This inbox is monitored several times a day, and families can expect a response within 24 to 48 hours. After reaching out, families will receive an intake form and the opportunity for a brief informal meeting to discuss expectations. Appointments for an initial evaluation are available on a regular basis with Dr. Brucker and/or Dr. Bodamer.
In addition to patient care, the clinic will gather natural history data and collect biospecimens for the IRB-approved KAT6 biorepository, which supports ongoing biomarker discovery. The clinicians will also continue collaborating with research partners such as the Serrano Lab at Boston University.
For appointments or additional details, families can reach the clinic coordinator at rarediseases@childrens.harvard.edu
