Verbatim
“Early detection has given Revan and his family the best possible start. Identifying this genetic change meant we were able to refer to the specialists in this rare condition straight away. Through discussion with the experts the family have been made aware of the implications of the test result. Signs and symptoms of ALD are non-specific, so the disorder usually takes time to diagnose even after concerns arise. The Generation Study test result means both boys can be monitored, so if there are signs of change, treatment can be started straight away.”
