Not long after the medical examiner’s call in 2004, Ackerman and his team were just beginning their research into the girl’s DNA when tragedy struck again. Four months after losing their daughter, the family lost her 10-year-old sister under similar circumstances — suddenly, while she was outside playing. Ackerman said his research team had a hunch...
Nemours pediatrician Matthew Demczko has made a career working with Amish children who live with an array of genetic abnormalities. He said the genetic heart defect detected by the Mayo team is likely unique to the Amish community. That’s because researchers think people with the defect are all connected to a small number of people who established ...
Back at Mayo, researcher Dave Tester is trying to better understand the genetic defect he helped discover. Now that they’ve pinpointed the cause of the children’s sudden death, they’re trying to find a more affordable and accessible treatment. "This is sort of phase 2 in this study,” said Tester, who also authored the JAMA article. To do that, the ...
