Rare Disease Awareness Month - Gabby's Story

In this episode today, Tahnee talks with Gabby Zeppieri, the only adult in the US to be diagnosed with Neutral Lipid Storage Disease Myopathy NLSD-M, a rare genetic condition, where fats (lipids) are stored abnormally in organs and tissues throughout the body. The accumulation of fats in muscle tissue leads to muscle weakness (myopathy).

One of the reasons why such a small number of patients have been identified is un-awareness or less information of the disease.
