Paxton Purdy's parents said he has an ultra-rare neurodegenerative genetic mutation. They hope they can raise enough money to cure it and help children in similar situations.
Paxton Purdy is the sweetest little 7-year-old.'No matter what he's going through, matter what seizures he has, he's the sweetest, most loving boy,' his mom Kristin Purdy said. Paxton's parents said he has an ultra-rare neurodegenerative genetic mutation on his CLCN6 gene. Essentially, it's a chloride channel in his brain that greatly impacts his central nervous system. It caused autism, severe epileptic seizures and affected his ability to walk and talk.
Paul Purdy says Paxton's specific mutation has never been studied meaning the gene therapy is experimental. While the technology is still in its infancy they say a similar gene therapy has proven to be successful. They're reaching out to the community and world to help raise money for Paxton's gene therapy. 'I can't even describe that feeling,' Kristin said. 'It would mean everything to me.
