Tamerlane underwent an important genetic analysis

Tamerlan was born in 2019. Immediately after his birth, he was taken to intensive care on a ventilator, where his fight for life began. Doctors diagnosed him with severe brain damage and epilepsy. He is 5 years old, but he cannot sit, talk, or lie still due to painful seizures and spasticity. He has drug-resistant epilepsy, which is resistant to conventional medications. He was recently fitted with a baclofen pump, a special device that delivers medication directly to the spinal cord to reduce spasticity. The first improvements have been seen! The boy is feeling better, and his family has been able to take him for walks. For doctors to accurately determine the cause of the condition and determine whether it is hereditary or the result of a random mutation, additional testing—genetic analysis—is necessary.
