Sané is waiting for genetic testing results for Aissata’s one-year-old sister Aminata. Patients can live long, healthy lives if they start treatment before the onset of symptoms. That includes following a strict diet, avoiding protein-rich foods like nuts, fish and meat and taking the supplement L-carnitine. Though consultation with Rodriguez was free, lifelong treatment is not. If Aminata shares her sister’s disease, Sané will need government assistance to buy medication.Prof. Moustapha Ndiaye, head of the neurology department at Fann, hopes young physicians will graduate prepared to assist rare disease patients not just in Senegal but in other African countries.

“Students travel from across Africa to study here,” Ndiaye said.At the start of her career, Dr. Henriette Senghor saw patients who were hospitalized for months. Some died, and no one knew why.Neurology student Henriette Dieng examines Abdou Diop, a patient with genetic neuropathy at Pedro Rodriguez’s clinic in Dakar, Senegal, Friday, Jan. 10, 2025.

In 2021, Rodriguez established a partnership between the Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar and CNAG, the National Center for Genomic Analysis in Barcelona. Rodriguez collects patients’ blood samples and delivers the extracted DNA to Barcelona, where scientists sequence it, storing the answers it holds in a large database. Almost 1,300 participants—patients and families—have enrolled in his study of rare disease in West Africa.

Assuming that’s true, the Capitals will likely be taken more seriously as contenders next season than they were at the beginning of this one.“This is one of the greatest seasons that I’ve ever been a part of as a coach or a player,” Carbery said. “What we went through as a group this year and what they accomplished and O’s record and everything that went into this season — I will never forget this group. Really, really memorable year.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Oilers have been the team that didn’t seem bothered by giving up four goals because they were more than capable of scoring at least five.And, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl anchoring the team, Edmonton can still win shootouts.
