Misha recently turned 2 years old. Epileptic seizures began when he was just two weeks old. Doctors are trying to find medications to stop them, but the seizures recur periodically, causing developmental delays.
Despite these difficulties, Misha is making progress: at one year old, he can hold his head up, roll over, crawl, and sit. He and his mother are working hard to complete the necessary medical rehabilitation, although this is especially challenging for children with epileptic activity.
The child has already undergone numerous examinations, and preliminary diagnoses include: unspecified encephalopathy. Several genetic tests have also been conducted, but a complete picture of the disease is not yet available.
Misha's geneticist recommended that he undergo full genome sequencing. This test will provide doctors with a complete picture and help determine the precise nature of the disease. An accurate diagnosis is the first step toward finding effective therapy. It can pave the way for specialized treatment that will improve Misha's quality of life and give him the chance to develop on par with his peers.
The cost of full genome sequencing is not covered by compulsory health insurance. The family cannot afford this expensive test themselves.
Support Misha—help raise funds for the genetic analysis that could change his future! Together, we can give our child the opportunity to live a full life!
