What is Hurler syndrome and the Hurst twins medical saga
Hurler syndrome is a metabolic disease caused by a missing enzyme that allows glycosaminoglycans to build up in organs. The Hurst twins Bryce and Baen, known as the Ginger Twins, underwent a cord blood bone marrow transplant at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital and receive weekly enzyme therapy at the Cleveland Clinic. Their family fights insurance hurdles after plans for Brock’s transplant were halted, facing mounting medical bills and ongoing surgeries.
