Just a year ago....

While I have been going through photos and photos Haven for 2009 I was reminded of this post I did in January 2009! It's still very exciting to me and I'm so happy they listened to my email request and read the info I sent to them!

ROHHAD: Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD) Information Center

I AM BEYOND EXCITED!!!!!!

I have emailed NORD, ORD, GARD, and ORPHA regarding the syndrome ROHHAD. As none of these had a listing for ROHHAD and all of these are organizations for rare diseases. I would like to share an exciting email I received back from GARD today!

Summarized version of the French study on ROHHAD vs. ROHHADNET

Dear Ms. Fowler,

You recently submitted an online e-mail to the Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD) Information Center about ROHHAD (rapid-onset obesity with hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, and autonomic dysregulation). You mentioned that your 4-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with ganglioneuroblastoma cancer and ROHHAD. After conducting research on your own and consulting with your daughter's physicians, you have come to find that there is very limited information available about this diagnosis. You wrote to us to request that we add ROHHAD to the ORD list of rare diseases.

We wish to thank you for bringing this condition to our attention and in response to your email, we have created an online question and answer page on this topic. If you'd like to view this information, we invite you to visit the links listed below.
