LEGIUS syndrome

The story of Nathan

LEGIUS syndrome is a defect on the SPRED-1 gene. You have the same cafe-au-lait spots as people with NF, but you never develop the tumors. Only about 250 people in the world have it, and ADHD is a common symptom. It’s possible that Autism is in there, too, because often one is confused for the other. It is an “invisible” condition, meaning people who meet you don’t realize your behavior can be troubling. They can get mad at you for something that isn’t your fault. NF actually runs in the family, so it’s actually good news that this isn’t that!
