    Summary of Direct Charitable Activities
    List the foundation’s four largest direct charitable activities during the tax year. Include relevant statistical information such as the number of organizations and other beneficiaries served, conferences convened, research papers produced, etc. Expenses
    1 While the focus of the Jain Foundation is LGMD2B, the resulting scientific advances and collaboration have a broader impact on human health through their relevance to other muscle disorders, degenerative diseases of tissues other than muscle, and normal aging. The Foundation is hands on in its approach to funding. We closely monitor progress of every project we fund and keep track of results and agreed upon timelines through quarterly detail oriented conference calls with researchers and site visits. Our goal continues to be to fund all possible approaches to a cure and have the patients diagnosed for when we reach a cure so they are able to avail it. Contract Research Organizations: In 2014 we continued existing and initiated new projects at Contract Research Organizations (CROs). There are many drugs in development (some even FDA approved) for other diseases that may be useful in LGMD2B. To evaluate their benefit in LGMD2B we need specific assays. The process of developing assays is 1,788,830
    2 Patient Recruitment and Diagnosis: LGMD2B is very rare. An important goal of the Foundation is to identify LGMD2B patients worldwide. The rarity of the disease, the lack of knowledge regarding the need for genetic analysis on the part of both the patients and physicians, and the high cost of genetic analysis has made this process laborious and costly. To find and diagnose patients we have had to make dramatic changes in our diagnostic process. In 2014 we launched a diagnosis program using new low cost sequencing technology to diagnose not just our specific disease but 34 other similar diseases all at once. Consequently, we have also led the development of a consortium of family foundations that are all interested in finding their patients through our program. This new program has reduced the price of diagnosing each patient by 60% and we are finding 4 times more LGMD2B patients in the same amount of time. 130,839
    3 Clinical Outcome Study: The process of becoming trial ready was initiated in 2012 and continued through 2013 and into 2014. Clinical trials frequently fail because testable outcomes are not well defined and are not sensitive enough to measure a small benefit from the treatment or drug being delivered. To find measurable outcomes for dysferlinopathy we launched a Clinical Outcome Study (COS) running out of 14 centers (in the US, Europe, Japan and Australia). One additional center was added in 2014 at Stanford University. The study is being funded through a grant to Dr. Bushby, Newcastle, UK and a grant for the statistical analysis of the data to Dr. Cnaan at CNMC, Washington, DC. At the end of 2014, 209 patients had been recruited into COS, not only meeting but also exceeding the recruitment goal of 150 that we had expected to reach. Patients will visit their respective centers 6 times over 3 years for medical, physiotherapy and MRI/MRS assessments at each visit. We are funding, leading 103,541
    4 Tools for Researchers: The Jain Foundation continued to actively identify and fund the development of research tools and resources that were needed to advance research in the dysferlin field in 2014. The Foundation is also committed to developing and providing frequently required reagents, the unavailability of which slows down research. We are developing antibodies using state of the art technologies at Rockefeller University. In addition, we are starting the process of building a library of cell lines that are useful to study the disease. Finally, we continue to generate and maintain large colonies at the custom breeding mouse facility at Jackson Laboratories (Maine, US). Information about these resources is frequently disseminated to relevant researchers through e-mails and through the Foundations website. 88,106
