So far he is the only individual with DS participating, but other are welcome to join. It is concerning oxidative stress and mitochondrial function/response in developmental delays. I think it would be great to collect more data from individuals with DS. The information gained by the parent and treating physician is invaluable as well. However, as of very recently the private funding for the Autism Clinic and the research coming from Frye's lab has stopped and ACH will decide soon if they are willing to fund it. Frye is looking for support from parents that are impacted by his work. If anyone has followed the work he has conducted in the past and recently, then one knows it has direct implications for treatment in DS. Please appeal to ACH if you want to see his work continue. As you mention so eloquently in your post, oxidative stress is playing a huge role in the pathology of DS. Under the direction of Dr. Frye we have also taken measures to support the mitochondria in my son. It has had an huge impact for him. This may be something you would want to explore with your child if you haven't already. Thanks and thank you for your blog. LinleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
