Smiles Included: Navigating through life with our rare disease superheroes

著者: Emily Beauclair
  • サマリー

  • As a mom of a son with Skraban-Deardorff Syndrome, a WDR26-related intellectual disability, I started listening to podcasts as a form of therapy and to get advice for how to navigate through the emotions and questions that come with having a child with a rare disease diagnosis. I started this podcast for those impacted by Skraban-Deardorff, and other rare diseases, as a way to share stories, ask and answer questions, get advice and have a platform where we can work to understand together what the diagnosis means and how we can support each other. The podcast will feature guests and experts across the rare disease spectrum that highlight how to bring out the best in our rare kids and showcase that we are not alone, but part of a great community of people supporting our rare children. If you have any topics you would like to be discussed on the show, or if you would like to be a guest, please reach out to me at SmilesIncludedPodcast@gmail.com.

  • Dr. Thomas Frazier and Katie Huba: Groundbreaking research to understand the cognitive and behavioral patterns of WDR26 patients
    2024/03/29

    Discover the groundbreaking strides being made in research on the WDR26 mutation as I talk to Dr. Thomas Frazier and his Research Coordinator, Katie Huba. This episode takes us through a new path towards understanding and improving the lives of those affected by rare genetic conditions. Dr. Frazier talks to us about his new study that leverages parent-reported questionnaires and innovative webcam assessments to unravel the cognitive and behavioral patterns in individuals with Skraban-Deardorff Syndrome.

    Research into rare diseases often brings a mix of apprehension and optimism. Here, we tackle the details of study participation, addressing the eligibility concerns of parents while highlighting the transformative benefits for their children. This conversation is an invitation to view research not as a daunting task, but as a means to glean a deeper understanding of your child's needs, offering strategic insights for the present and a beacon of hope for future medical advancements.

    As we explore the ways in which this study could transform care for those with WDR26 mutations, we invite eligible participants to join this collective effort. Please reach out to Katie Huba to discuss:
