Samir's immune system is attacking his joints. The boy needs to undergo genetic testing to select an appropriate treatment

Samir has suffered from eczema since childhood and often gets respiratory infections and the flu. Last year, he was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis—a disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, causing inflammation and joint pain.

Samir was prescribed treatment to slow the progression of the disease, but despite this, the pain continues to worsen, his movements are becoming more restricted, and the eczema is spreading, causing itching and painful cracks in his skin.

That is why a geneticist recommended genome sequencing—a test that can help identify the genetic cause of the boy's illnesses. The results will give dermatologists, immunologists, and rheumatologists a more complete picture of his condition and help them choose effective treatment.

Samir's mother herself has a hearing disability and also suffers from arthritis. She is raising three children alone and caring for her elderly mother. The family lives modestly, without child support, and cannot afford the test on their own.

Help Samir get a genetic analysis so that doctors can more accurately determine the specifics of his condition and select a treatment that will finally help him!
