Dasha is 14 years old. She is extraordinary: kind, sweet, and always ready to help. She loves to sing, practices parataekwondo, and attends a speech school. She was an orphan from birth. Terrified by the serious diagnoses, her birth mother abandoned her in the hospital immediately after birth. During her first year, Dasha underwent complex heart surgery. She was placed with a loving foster family at age three, and her mother has been fighting for her health ever since.
At 14, Dasha is only 140 cm tall. Pediatricians and geneticists suspect a genetic disorder. After numerous tests, they ruled out some possibilities, but without a full examination, it's impossible to know. Her short stature is preventing her from living a full life: it affects her future health, limits her activity, and limits her social life.
The solution is full genome sequencing with data output in FASTQ format. This is the most accurate analysis that will reveal all genetic characteristics. A consultation with a geneticist after receiving the results will help adjust the treatment: the necessary vitamins and medications will be prescribed, and a risk assessment will be prepared. This will change Dasha's life—making her healthier, more active, and more confident in her communication.
We ask for your help! Every contribution will bring Dasha closer to a better future. Thank you for your kindness!
