Stem Cell Transplant: September 2007 Archives

Dr. Jordan Orange is the first Immunologist worldwide to give a webinar (definition via Wikipedia)  to a primary immune deficiency patient group.

He's also a pioneer regarding primary immune deficiency research (he diagnosed my son Andy).

His webinar included NEMO pathway descriptions, a map of NEMO mutations, ectodermal dysplasia and GI issues with NEMO. The webinar lasted for 1 hour 15 minutes and he answered questions from parents in the US and UK.

Here's a screen capture during the webinar where he's explaining NEMO pathways.

Conner Smith is at day 21 post transplant, he is 13 years 3 months old and he had NEMO deficiency.

This from his parents blog:

This morning Conner said, "BMTs suck eggs, but it will be worth it... I guess." Needless to say, Conner isn't feeling like his normal perky self. He had a very rough night and even vomited up his NG tube again.
