All rare diseases deserve a chance st treatment no matter how rare!
Thank you RARE Revolution Magazine for sharing my story.
#rarebone MGH Endocrine Unit Research shout out to Dr. Jueppner and Dr. Gardella for leading the way for ultra rare disease like Jansen's!
Effie turned the darkest hours of her life into a beacon of light for other rare families like hers, which she does through the power of storytelling via her popular podcast, Once Upon a Gene.
