Luke Rosen was working as an actor and writer in New York when his daughter Susannah was diagnosed with KIF1A, an ultra-rare neurodegenerative condition. It's often fatal. At the time they received Susannah's diagnosis, Luke and his wife Sally didn't have much hope. There was no treatment for KIF1A, and there wasn't much work being done on it among researchers. But Luke, one of the most optimistic people you'll ever meet, did what so many parents of children with rare diseases do...he threw himself at the problem. He and Sally started the KIF1A.org Foundation so they could start building research that could go towards finding a treatment for their daughter. It was the beginning of a long journey for the family. Ultimately, that journey led them to the n-Lorem Foundation, an organization founded by CNBC Cures Advisory Board member Dr. Stan Crooke that offers free ASO treatments to individuals with nano-rare diseases. Thirty years in the making, Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) technology bridges genomic discovery to personalized medicine one patient at a time. Because of the work done by n-Lorem, Susannah is now receiving treatment for her KIF1A. Luke says the treatments helped for while, though he's now worried the disease is catching up.For more about Susannah's story: visit: https://www.kif1a.org/n-lorem's work is here: https://www.nlorem.org/ Join us in advancing awareness and understanding of rare diseases.

It's the story Becky Quick never thought she would tell. Her own.As a mom to a child with a rare genetic disease, Squawk Box co-host Becky Quick dove into the hidden world of the many ways biological chance can change our lives. Thirty million Americans have a rare disease, which impact small numbers of patients. Two-thirds of those thirty million are children; 95% of rare diseases don't have an FDA-approved treatment. But despite those eye-popping numbers, millions of people continue to suffer from diseases that often go overlooked by the broader healthcare industry. Small patient populations mean drug companies and investors aren't willing to invest in the space, and outdated regulatory frameworks make the process of developing lifesaving treatments too slow for the families that need them.Becky and her husband Matt Quayle share the journey of their 9-year old daughter Kaylie, who has a rare genetic condition called SYNGAP-1. Over the next several episodes of The Path, Becky will highlight the unique challenges faced by millions of Americans, put a spotlight on the bottlenecks slowing progress in the rare disease space, and talk with stakeholders who have the power to bring about change.Join us in advancing awareness and understanding of rare diseases.
