flag Two-year-old Edie Mulry, first in Australia diagnosed with rare JELANS disorder, sparks global research effort after her parents raise $300K for treatment.

flag Two-year-old Edie Mulry from NSW is the first child in Australia diagnosed with JELANS, a rare genetic disorder caused by a CRELD1 mutation leading to up to 100 seizures daily and severe developmental delays. flag After years of medical dismissals, advanced genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis following a severe seizure episode during a COVID-19 hospitalization. flag With only about 30 known cases worldwide and no treatments or research funding, her parents are raising $300,000 through community events to support UK-based research at the University of Birmingham. flag The effort aims to develop lab-grown cell models of Edie’s mutation to test potential drug therapies, offering hope for her and other children with the condition.
