In May, I will turn 4 and as you might know I was diagnosed with a rare syndrome called BBSOAS in 2023. So, this year for my birthday my wish is to help with fundraising for NR2F1 Foundation which supports families and scientific research on this rare disease.
Thank you very much for your support.
What is BBSOAS?
BBSOAS, also known as Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome, is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a disruption in the NR2F1 gene. BBSOAS is characterized by a wide array of clinical features, but the most common are visual impairment, epilepsy/seizures, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. There are currently a few hundred known cases of BBSOAS worldwide with diagnoses rapidly increasing every month.
