MS VELASQUEZ ANADAIWA KUA MWANAMKE M-BAYA KULIKO WOTE DUNIANI



Battle: Lizzie Velasquez says she has had to face being stared at and bullied because of her unusual looks
Miss Lizzie Velasquez was born without adipose tissue, meaning she has no body fat and, despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains at a delicate 4.4stone (58lbs). Her syndrome is so rare that to this day it remains undiagnosed. Besides Miss Velasquez there are only two other people in the world known to suffer from the condition.
The main symptom is the inability to gain weight. Miss Velasquez is also blind in one eye and has limited vision in the other. The 23-year-old says her condition is particularly puzzling because it takes on aspects of other syndromes, including progeria.

Miss Velasquez says she has the pointed nose, small mouth and ageing skin of someone with progeria but her syndrome is not though to be terminal. As she says on her website her condition is 'just one big mystery', but she remains hopeful that one day doctors will discover just what it is and how to treat it.

'They told us she would never be able to walk, talk or have a normal life,' said her mother, who has two other children with Miss Velasquez's father Lupe - both children are of average height and weight.  Despite the grim prognosis Miss Velasquez's brain, bones and internal organs developed normally but she was always very small. At the age of two she was still only 15lbs - the same as the average five-month-old baby.

Born with two brown eyes, when Miss Velasquez was four the right began to cloud and change hue. Doctors then discovered she had gone blind in that eye.'They still don't know why it happened but now I have one blue and one brown eye.'  Miss Velasquez's case has fascinated doctors all over the world and she is part of a genetic study run by Professor Abhimanyu Garg at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Professor Garg and his team now believe Miss Velasquez may have a form of Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome (NPS), which causes accelerated ageing, fat loss from the face and body, and tissue degeneration. People with PRS often have triangular and prematurely aged faces with a pointy nose.

He said: 'I am aware of a small number of people that have similar conditions to Lizzie but each case is slightly different.
'We cannot predict what will happen to Lizzie in the future, as the medical community are yet to document older people with NPS. 'However Lizzie is lucky to have healthy teeth, organs and bones so the outlook is good. 

We will continue to study her case and learn from her.' Miss Velasquez doesn't take medication but she relies on vitamin supplements and iron to stay healthy.  It is thought she should be able to conceive naturally without passing the condition to her children. Madocta ndio walieleza hayo.
