Zarko's Story: Genomic Medicine In Action

Zarko Stanacev experienced years of mysterious debilitating symptoms. He applied to NIH's Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) and had his genome was sequenced and interpreted by a team including Dr. William Gahl at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. They found a mutation in the gene NLRP3, which causes abnormal inflammation throughout the body. After only one treatment with a medicine to dampen this inflammation, Zarko's symptoms improved.
