This is a very thorough case report. The patient is described as having a unique constellation of symptoms, but this is a fairly typical presentation if you are looking at MCAP and not all of PROS -CC

In September, members of our board w/ family were able to visit the Kroll Lab, which is conducting iPSC research funded by our community. Lab members presented to us the status and ambitions of their work so far, and then we were able to take a tour of the lab.

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet these collaborators for the first time. We appreciate all that the Kroll Lab is doing to better understand how these genetic changes affect patients. They aim to discover treatments that mitigate these changes and improve patients lives.
