View Participant
Male, age 13, with a history of seizures, involuntary muscle contractions (dystonia), irregular and involuntary jerky movements on one side of the body (hemiballismus), difficulty walking (gait disturbance), and brain imaging abnormalities caused by a change in the EIF2AK2 gene
View Participant
Male, age 7, with global developmental delay, muscle weakness, hand tremor, increased tone in lower limbs (hypertonia), and facial differences caused by a change in the ZNF865 gene.
After sharing this page, the family was invited to talk about their story on their local news station.
