About Me

Katlyn: Follow 8-year-old Katlyn, diagnosed with adenosine deaminase (ADA)severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). This is an extremely rare condition where there is a defect in her ADA gene. The ADA gene is responsible for filtering the body of toxic metabolites. In Katlyn's body, those toxic metabolites are not filtered and therefore, kill off her lympocytes, leaving her with virtually no immune system. Katlyn is has participated in a gene therapy protocol in Bethesda, MD at the National Institute of Health, but unfortunately it did not work. She is now preparing for a bone marrow transplant. Katlyn this is an account of when you were little and all you had to go through. We love you sweety!!!!
