There may be exactly one child in Switzerland with a PAFAH1B1 mutation of the very rare disease # lissencephaly: two-year-old Arth. The disease affects the brain and has many debilitating side effects. Arth's parents contacted us because they wanted to encourage other parents of chronically ill children on Lissencephaly Day on 8 September. Their message: «Even with a rare disease, life can be fulfilling!»
