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.⁠
