Brynn Schulte nearly died twice when she was a baby, at one point needing emergency surgery for massive bleeding in her brain.
After Port Tampa Bay closed its waterways, the Port of Jacksonville shuttered operations late Tuesday, and will remain closed Wednesday.
A recent study showed that tests for sick newborns that look at their full genetic blueprints are nearly twice as good at finding genetic problems as narrower, more commonly used tests. According to the research, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the broader tests found 49% of genetic abnormalities, compared with 27% for the narrower tests. Experts say this offers hope to parents of millions of babies with confounding conditions. Whole genome testing found a rare bleeding disorder in Brynn Schulte of Cincinnati. Her parents say the early diagnosis and quick treatmen...
Brynn Schulte nearly died twice when she was a baby, at one point needing emergency surgery for massive bleeding in her brain. No one knew what was wrong until a test that looked at her full genetic blueprint found a rare bleeding disorder called factor XIII deficiency — an early diagnosis that saved her life.…
