The number one question we get from #raredisease advocates at #thedisorderchannel is How can I make a documentary about my rare disease? So we offer with @globalgenes the #rarelytoldstoriesworkshops and guidebook. #patientstories #patientvoice #careaboutrare #rarediseasetruth

It is Menkes Disease awareness, a rare disease caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene in the body. A film by @DisorderRare highlights families discussing life after diagnosis day, including a family with a Menkes Disease diagnosis. To watch: youtube.com/watch?v=sAd1Oez3… #MenkesDisease

Tomorrow's #Signalise may be late! @thekattdazzle seems to be run down & has a virus-y child home. Stay tuned. When we do drop this end of Sept episode, listen for a segment with @DisorderRare Daniel DeFabio.
