Kai Xue, a 13-year-old girl from Bradford, England, suffered from WILD syndrome, a disease that causes severe swelling. She has become the first person in the world to be cured of the rare genetic disease affecting just 21 known individuals globally.⁠ ⁠ After unsuccessful treatments for over a decade, Kai was referred to Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent. A team of specialists conducted a pioneering surgery that successfully repaired a leak in her liver and cured her disease.⁠ ⁠ WILD syndrome is a genetic condition with symptoms including warts, immune problems, swelling and genital abnormalities.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🩺Learn more about WILD syndrome and Xue's journey in the full article on our website in our linkinbio ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 💬Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #WILDsyndrome #swelling #rarediseases #cure
