York Hob Moor Oaks School Boy Battles Hunter Syndrome
The family of a nine-year-old York boy are raising awareness of the rare genetic disorder that’s blighting his life. Sally Mitcham’s son, Danny, was diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis type II, more commonly known as Hunter Syndrome at just three years old.
As he was growing up, Danny was referred to a paediatrician after doctors agreed that he wasn’t developing as a boy of his age should. Later tests would tragically find that Danny had the most severe form of the disease meaning he also had the worst possible outlook.
