When it come to making a donation, it`s easy for people to think that their one small donation won`t make a difference, but nothing could be further from the truth.💙
Diagnosed with an ultra-rare condition caused by mutations in the RBM28 gene, Lucas and his family are helping shine a light on a disease with no approved treatment and very limited research. Through support of research at SickKids and UMass Chan Medical School, Blu Genes Foundation has partnered with Lucas` family to help advance the work needed to understand RBM28-related disease and explore potential gene therapy treatments. Together, we can help give children like Lucas a brighter future.
