Refsum Disease is a genetic disorder impacting the metabolism of phytanic acid. The key symptoms are Retinitis Pigmentosa, loss of smell, hearing loss, numbness, balance issues, itchy skin, shortened fingers and toes. Refsum Disease has a proven low phytanic acid diet that can slow vision and hearing loss and lessen other symptoms.

Global DARE Foundation is working hard to educate clinicians, researchers and the public about the disease – it is the hope that through these efforts, the time to diagnosis can become faster, and better therapies can be developed to improve the lives of people who suffer from Refsum disease.
