      <image:title>Blog - NARS1 Family Stories - The Anderson Family, USA - James was born with microcephaly and had difficulty gaining weight early on. From the beginning, there were signs that something wasn’t quite right. Weekly visits to the pediatrician became part of life, and by 10 months old, James had his first neurology appointment after missing key milestones.</image:title>
      <image:caption>At that stage, everything was uncertain. Scans were inconclusive, and James was labeled globally delayed. Like many families, Nancy and Bud held onto hope that with the right support, he might catch up. He began Early Intervention, with physical and occupational therapy both at home and in the hospital. Progress came, but slowly. James crawled at 15 months and walked at 21 months, and over time it became clear that the gap between his age and development was growing. Over the years, James was supported by neurologists, orthopedists, and gastroenterologists, alongside speech therapy, OT, and PT throughout his school years. He moved through different educational settings until he aged out of the public school system at 22. Despite all of this, a diagnosis remained out of reach for many years. It wasn’t until James was 29 that the family finally had an answer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - NARS1 Family Stories - The Anderson Family, USA - What brings joy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Despite the challenges, there is so much joy in James. He has a huge smile and a way of bringing people together. He makes an impression wherever he goes, whether that’s at a game, a restaurant, or just out in the community. “You cannot help but feel happy when you are around him with his huge smile and love of life.” Nancy describes him as someone who brings out the best in people. One memory that stands out is a simple night out with friends at a restaurant where one of his favorite bands was playing. Seeing other people connect with James and genuinely enjoy being around him stayed with Nancy long afterward. “Those memories help us so much when things get tough.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Understanding Your Child’s Genetic Report - A quick recap: DNA, genes and chromosomes</image:title>
      <image:caption>DNA DNA is the long chemical code that carries all the instructions for how the body grows and works. DNA is a simple alphabet of just four letters: A, C, T and G.  Genes DNA is divided into specific sections called genes. They are like individual recipes written along the DNA. Each gene tells the body how to make a specific protein that performs an important job. The NARS1 gene provides instructions for making the NARS1 protein, which helps cells build other proteins that the body needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - NARS1 Family Stories - The Lo Re Family, Italy - The Journey to Diagnosis</image:title>
      <image:caption>During pregnancy, doctors identified a Robertsonian translocation involving chromosomes 14 and 21, but this did not appear to cause any problems. From birth, however, feeding was difficult. Gabriel vomited forcefully after almost every feed, and by three months old he was admitted to hospital due to poor weight gain and the fact that his head circumference had not increased. It was at this point that doctors identified microcephaly and a psychomotor developmental delay. Gabriel began physiotherapy and was followed by neuropsychiatry specialists. Initial genetic testing showed a microduplication of chromosome 22, but as time went on, his symptoms continued to increase and did not fully align with that diagnosis.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - NARS1 Family Stories - The Lo Re Family, Italy - Everyday Life</image:title>
      <image:caption>Like with most NARS1 families, daily life for the Lo Re family is demanding and structured entirely around Gabriel’s care, particularly his feeding. Because he is an active child with a strong desire to move, daytime feeding cannot be delivered continuously via a pump. Instead, Gabriel receives nutrition by syringe every hour throughout the day, alongside regular medication. At night, once he is asleep, continuous feeding runs until morning.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - NARS1 Family Stories - The Lo Re Family, Italy - Finding strength and support</image:title>
      <image:caption>Despite the challenges, Gabriel brings his family immense joy. The moments when he is well, laughing and happy, mean everything to them. His small progress, which might seem insignificant to others, is celebrated deeply at home. In the hardest moments, what helps most is Gabriel himself. His determination, strength, and desire to live and laugh give his parents the courage to keep going. Support from others has also made a difference. School has been an important part of Gabriel’s life, helping him learn new skills and providing an environment where he is supported and encouraged. His classmates show him kindness and care, something his parents are deeply grateful for.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Family Resource ARCHIVE - Asparagine and NARS1: A Guide for Families - Asparagine is a naturally occurring amino acid that supports growth, repair, and brain development. In NARS1-related disorders, the body may not use asparagine as effectively, which is why researchers are exploring whether supplementation could help support cell function. This leaflet brings together what we know so far. It’s designed to help you understand the current landscape and support informed conversations with your clinical team.</image:title>
