Have you ever heard of the degenerative children’s disease called, “hypomyelination with atrophy of the basal ganglia and cerebellum (H-ABC)?”
It’s okay if you haven’t. Until Ruby Hoffman’s diagnosis, her family didn’t know about it either.
As of 2019, fewer than 200 individual cases of H-ABC—the majority of which are children—have been identified. However, that number is on the rise.
On tonight’s show, as we get closer to Rare Disease Day on February 28th, am talking with 7-year-old Ruby’s mom, Mindy Hoffman, about H-ABC and what you can do to help move their A Rare Ruby H-ABC effort forward. Please listen & share.
