That is exactly where Sanath Kumar Ramesh found himself in the summer of 2018. One year later, on his son's first birthday, they found out that their son, Raghav, had an extremely rare mutation of the GPX4 gene. At the time, doctors told them that Raghav may be the only one on the planet with this genetic variant who had lived beyond one month of life. The prognosis is completely unknown. They were alone. They were scared. And then they went into action. And now they want to share their story. Every couple of weeks Raising Rare will give you an update on baby Raghav as he grows up.
