Miroslava and other beneficiaries of the Foundation needs genetic testing

Two-year-old Miroslava from Vereya, Moscow region, is a bright and smiling little girl. She started walking with support at one year old, like many toddlers. But over time, her parents noticed that her gait became unsteady and uncertain — as if she were learning to keep her balance all over again. At the Rogachev Medical Center, doctors suspect that Miroslava has a rare genetic disorder — Louis-Bar syndrome. This is a hereditary condition in which both the nervous system and the immune system are affected. Children with this diagnosis experience impaired coordination and have a high predisposition to infections and cancer. The earlier the correct diagnosis is made, the greater the chance of starting supportive therapy in time and protecting the child from severe complications. Right now, the little girl needs to undergo genetic testing — whole exome sequencing. This is an expensive analysis that will reveal what is happening in Miroslava's body. Dear Tubers! We are raising funds for genetic testing for Miroslava and other beneficiaries of the Foundation. Please support our fundraiser.
