Hi Kathryn, I remember these feelings, still have the odd moment even now and my son is 2. He was diagnosed at birth and went through 3 operations before he really turned the corner. Now the positive stuff. He is the happiest, cheekiest, funniest child. He keeps amazingly well and has never...

Hi Just wondering if anyone else has either of the gene mutations N1303K or 621+1G>T. My son, 19 months has these mutations and I'm just curious. Mary
