Mila's Story

Mila was once like any happy, healthy child. But at age 3, she started to falter. At 6, she was diagnosed with Batten disease, a rare and fatal genetic disorder. She lost her sight, her language and her ability to walk independently. No one had an answer — until a plea on Facebook led her parents to Dr. Timothy Yu in Boston Children’s Hospital’s Division of Genetics and Genomics.
