- Lena and Vina were born with constant, life-threatening seizures. After nearly a decade of searching for the cause of their debilitating symptoms, the girls’ neurologist, Scott Demarest, MD, was able to provide the family with a diagnosis. Genetic testing and advances in research revealed that both girls had a newly discovered, extremely rare genetic mutation that caused their cells to attack and degrade vitamin B6 in their bodies. A simple, over-the-counter vitamin supplement turned out to be the precise medication they needed. Their seizures went from hundreds a day to almost no seizures in a year.
