Read after the exam: A rare dysautonomia

Shely sent an interesting reference to me that you might enjoy reading after the exam: A very rare disease that may first present right after birth, namely, when the newborn does not open its eyes for several days and later will cause the affected to have frequent orthostatic hypotension-like events all the way to short term coma... Actually this deficiency disease caught my eye when I looked at the list of dysautonomias in my ANS3 lecture today, slide #57, where it is listed - and I thought to myself that I should look up sometime what it entails!

Thanks, Shely!
