Affectionate, cheerful and mischievous eight-month-old Vadim is the long-awaited third child in the family. He is adored by his older sisters Arina and Nika - they lovingly carry him in their arms and dream of their brother growing up strong and healthy.
But already at 4 months, Vadim's mother noticed alarming signs: he was too lethargic, slept a lot, ate reluctantly and hardly gained weight. The first tests revealed a duplication in the chromosome, but this was not enough to understand what was preventing the boy from developing. Now Vadim has a noticeable developmental delay and pronounced muscle weakness. Despite the fact that he eats according to his age, his body seems not to digest food.
Doctors suspect a rare disease associated with metabolism, which cannot be accurately diagnosed without an in-depth study. The only chance to understand the cause of the disease is full-genome DNA sequencing (the "Genome-45" test), which will help identify possible hidden genetic disorders.
The test will allow an accurate diagnosis to be made, on the basis of which it will be possible to select the correct treatment or a special diet, supportive drugs, and also build an individual rehabilitation program. Without this test, doctors act blindly.
For a large family, the cost of the test is an unaffordable amount.
Join the collection and give Vadim a chance for a healthy childhood.
