This is Kinsley, a 4-year-old with TUBB4A-related leukodystrophy. Her family flew in from Dallas to visit our lab yesterday and said she’s always talking about “the medicine in my back so I can walk and run... and then run some more.” A powerful reminder: Hope matters. Always.
My Twitter experience improved once I found the ‘muted words’ feature. It used to be half of my feed was political, now it’s about 5%. Much less stressful! Try it! These are my muted words.
Congrats to @MichaelPacold and team for finding a treatment for #hpdl syndrome that we described. Likely the first mitochondrial encephalopathy with precise therapy. Looks like a cure!! nature.com/articles/s4158…
