This is Katie Minium and she has Ataxia Telangiectasia
Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a primary immunodeficiency disease that affects a
number of different organs in the body. An immunodeficiency disease is one that
causes the immune system to break down, making the body susceptible to diseases.
It is a rare, recessive genetic
disorder of childhood that occurs in between 1 out of 40,000 and 1 out of
100,000 persons worldwide. The ailment is progressive. Patients with A-T are
frequently wheelchair-bound by their teens, and the disease is generally fatal
to patients by the time they reach their twenties.
