@EllDee369@liz_churchill10 The one and only time I got a flu shot I was sicker than I have ever been. 105 fever and couldn’t move for 5 days. Doc told me not to ever get another because the second one could kill me. Lucky I had a Doctor with common sense.
Launched last year, the KBG syndrome Natural History Study and Patient Registry is an IRB-governed project aimed at aiding research and providing patients with a resource to track their own healthcare needs. If you have #KBGsyndrome join today! https://t.co/tciB3ymF9S
Exciting work and thrilled that the @KBGFdn played a part in funding this valuable research! Blessed that so far our son does not show any heart defects or issues. #KBGsyndrome has ruled our lives but not our living! Thank you @AMVoronova et al!
I am super excited to share our paper published today in @NatureComms! Have you heard about heart-brain axis? Here we asked why heart defects are prevalent in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as the rare KBG syndrome. https://t.co/cTXI2aEGly 1/9
Already ordered ours. And I need to point out: @Tay_Maughan designed the graphics by hand in a matter of minutes. This kid. No clue where she picked this talent up, the universe likes her. Hates me, likes her. ;)

What a great time! I'm so proud of our children for presenting. We set it up and they jumped in. I only had to answer the KBG questions (which were plenty). :) Magnets man. Magnets.
March 26th is International Epilepsy Awareness Day. Approximately 40% of people with KBG syndrome experience recurring seizures. We invite you to wear purple on the 26th to show your support for families living with epilepsy.

Thank You to all that supported Rare Disease Day in honor of someone they know living with a rare condition. Never before have so many people raised their voices and their lights to say they see us! We see you too!

Diagnosis are occurring earlier and earlier in a patients life. While the average time to diagnosis is still around 7 long years, most KBG-affected individuals are diagnosed under the age of 21.

@Srotberg15 Arrogance. When leading a rare NPO it is essential to check your ego at all times. This goes for everyone on the Board, ego has no role in helping others.IMHO.
The KBG Patient Registry is an IRB-governed Natural History Study of the KBG population aimed at creating the most in-depth cross-section of information about this genetic disorder to date. Leading to improved quality of life and eventually a treatment. #KBGregistry#KBGsyndrome
