Rare Disease Day 2010

February 28

Hall of fame - Dr. Ian Krantz

Less than 300 cases worldwide of PKS are known.  The chromosome-affected cells leave the bloodstream within days of birth, leaving diagnosis hard to determine.  Our children need accurate and early diagnosis in order to reach their maximum potential!  Therapies and assistance depends on this.  Dr. Krantz is the only US geneticist studying Pallister-Killian Syndrome.  He is about to issue 3 medical papers on it.  We’re thrilled he’s helping us!
