Meet Lucas
Lucas is an amazing 8 year-old boy battling FOXG1 syndrome among other medically complex issues. But that doesn’t slow him down!
FOXG1 is a medical condition where a rare genetic mutation affects early brain development, leading to a range of developmental and neurological challenges. Specifically, FOXG1 syndrome is caused by alterations in the FOXG1 gene, which plays a crucial role in brain formation during fetal development. This condition typically results in delayed milestones, intellectual disability, epilepsy, and movement disorders.
The term Medically Complex refers to individuals with multiple chronic health conditions affecting different body systems, requiring ongoing specialized care, frequent medical interventions, and coordination among various healthcare professionals.
