LAMA2 Bulgaria
Foundation
We are Genadi and Teodora, parents of Bozhana and Marko.
Bozhana is our first child – she is healthy, active, and cheerful.
Marko, our second child, was born with a rare genetic disease called LAMA2 CMD. Despite the challenging diagnosis, Marko is a smart and cheerful child.
We have learned to live positively and find happiness despite the diagnosis. We created LAMA2 Bulgaria to support LAMA2-affected children in Bulgaria and to support scientific research necessary for developing treatments.
LAMA2 CMD
Muscular Dystrophy type LAMA2 (LAMA2 CMD), also known as Merosin-deficient Congenital Muscular Dystrophy type 1A, is a rare genetic disease affecting the production of the protein Laminin-211, which is needed for normal muscle development. Affected children are born with weak muscle tone (hypotonia), cannot hold up their heads well, and rarely walk.
