Family hopes to see rare medical condition eradicated
“Our first goal is to raise awareness of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia because there is not a lot of funding for research into it,” said Chancee Culp, Lucas John’s mother. “There is no cure for NKH but with gene therapy, researchers believe they can cure and eradicate it.”
Culp’s son was born on March 6, 2018, and was later diagnosed with NKH, which is caused by a genetic variant.
