Couple terminate pregnancy after unborn baby diagnosed with Sanfilippo syndrome
In London, a family reveals that after their two-year-old daughter Leni was diagnosed with Sanfilippo syndrome (a childhood dementia), in‑utero genetic testing showed their next pregnancy would also be affected. Faced with no cure and a dire prognosis, they chose to terminate the pregnancy and now focus on fundraising and pushing for newborn screening and faster access to potential treatments to help other families facing the condition.
