@lukebrosen I’m so sorry Luke 💔 I hate what this life does to the siblings, it’s so messed up. Sending lots of thoughts and prayers for Susannah, and your whole family.
@aymnelkilany @JohnMillichapMD Hi Dr. Kilany, I do a search for KCNH1 every so often and just came across your tweet. We do in fact have a repurposed drug for KCNH1, but it’s crucial to ensure that the patient has a gain-of-function variant. Happy to connect if you’d like to learn more!
@eperlste I think it’s abundantly clear that this is the case, but I’d love to see your sources for these stats, it’s always helpful to have data to back up our position when making a case to donors or applying for grants!
@OnceUponAGene Good thing you weren’t counting on me for dinner!! 🤦♀️ Sorry about that, Tris got sick that day and the first half of the week was spent watching him like a hawk to make sure his breathing/O2 were ok. Made it through without a trip to the ER, but it was close 😅 How’s Ford??
Excited to be featured in the spring edition of UC San Diego Magazine, following the feature article on rare-disease research being conducted at UCSD:

@lukebrosen Thank you for sharing, Luke. We’re all rooting for you guys and I can’t tell you what it means to see Susannah doing well. No words indeed, just tears of joy and hope.
"The couple's one regret is that they couldn't convince FDA to be less cautious about the therapy. Earlier treatment and a higher dose might have led to a different outcome ... They would happily have faced the risk of a brain hemorrhage for the possibility of a better outcome."
New medical treatments, such as gene therapies, have the potential to save lives or transform them completely.
Unfortunately, clinical trials for unproven therapies don't always end well, especially for those who go first.

Such a pleasure to participate in the @RadyGenomics BeginNGS workshop this week, this cutting-edge program has the potential to transform rare-disease diagnosis and it’s so exciting it’s happening right here in San Diego!
