Treatment
There is currently no cure for HNRNPH2 genetic variations and not all HNRNPH2 patients will need all therapies or treatments. In addition to traditional therapies, some patients have supplemented these with additional therapies and some patients take prescribed medications for anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, seizures, etc. Each patient should work with their medical team to develop the appropriate therapeutic program that will meet their specific needs.
