“This is an ultra-rare condition affecting less than 300 individuals worldwide. We must work together to learn more about OCNDS. This is a group effort. We are trying to give our daughter every opportunity possible. We feel by participating in research we are helping the community learn more about OCNDS and in turn helping our daughter live her best life possible.”

“We participate in research to offer hope to future families that there may be a standard of care upon diagnosis. OCNDS has a wide spectrum of difficulties, so offering information about our unique story and implications of the mutation is helping to build the bigger picture.”
