Sabrina Spiteri-Cano is a member of Gibraltar's Supported Needs Action Group (SNAG). whose daughter Aaliyah was diagnosed with STXBP1 Disorder. STXBP1 (Syntaxin-Binding Protein 1) is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein involved in how brain cells communicate. This protein helps with the release of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that allow nerve cells to send signals to each other.Mutations in the STXBP1 gene can cause neurological conditions, including epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, and movement disorders. These mutations disrupt normal brain signaling, leading to developmental and cognitive challenges. The severity of symptoms can vary widely from person to person and Aaliyah is Gibraltar's sole patient.Learn more about STXBP1 via the link below:https://search.app/2F1QLcjg7Q6sAyzw7If you would like to reach out feel free to send an email to: atelierfuralle@gmail.com.

John Navarro Jr. is the only person in Gibraltar to have Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN), a rare, chronic neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, leading to progressive muscle weakness and loss of function, usually in the hands and arms. Unlike other neuropathies, MMN is purely motor, meaning it does not cause sensory loss. It is often misdiagnosed as ALS due to its similar symptoms but is treatable with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), which can help manage the condition and slow progression. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for maintaining mobility and quality of life. MMN is a very rare condition roughly affecting 1 in 200,000 people or 5 in every 1 million people. Today he'll share his story.Learn more about MMN and John's work via the links below:GBS/CIDP Foundation:https://www.gbs-cidp.org/John also founded a MMN UK Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18eLTDzYvi/?mibextid=wwXIfrMoorish Castle in Gibraltar was recently lit with an orange glow in celebration of MMN Awareness Month:https://www.gbc.gi/news/moorish-castle-lit-orange-gibraltars-only-multifocal-motor-neuropathy-patient-shares-his-storyIf you would like to reach out feel free to send an email to: atelierfuralle@gmail.com.
