A 28-year-old woman is the mother of a 5-year-old daughter, suffering from a rare genetic disease, 'Epilepsy, hearing loss and mental retardation syndrome' abbreviated as EHLMRS. This is a morbid disease affecting the developing brain, causing severe intellectual impairment, difficult-to-treat seizures and hearing loss. Individuals with this condition are non-ambulatory, do not have speech development and may lose their vision too.
