There's so much to celebrate this year! 🎉 Along with #70YearsOfRadyChildrens, we're marking the 10th anniversary of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, where groundbreaking advancements continue to save lives—just like Sebastiana’s. Just hours into her first day of life, Sebastiana began having seizures, prompting doctors to transfer her to #RadyChildrens Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. When traditional tests couldn’t identify the source of her condition, the team referred her to Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine. 🧬 Within 96 hours of receiving a blood sample, the Institute pinpointed the cause of her seizures: a pathogenic variant in the KCNQ2 gene, making Sebastiana the youngest child diagnosed with this rare & often fatal condition. Armed with this critical information, Sebastiana’s neurologist quickly adjusted her treatment plan, stopping the seizures & setting her on the path to recovery. ✨ Today, Sebastiana is a vibrant young girl who loves school. 📚 Her teacher calls her a "perfect student" who enjoys storytelling & dancing. At home, her mom, Dolores, describes her as a strong, determined girl who holds her own with her two brothers. 💙 Read Sebastiana’s full story ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gvwfBjQ9
