Fueling Autism Research: 4-year-old donates cells to UConn doc
STORRS — April is Autism Awareness Month and a doctor from the University of Connecticut is conducting research that could be a breakthrough that changes people's views of the disorder.
Jacqueline Vanderhoof, a mother from Philadelphia whose daughter, Fiona, was diagnosed with Dup15q at the age of eight months, was determined to find out what others were doing for genetically based therapies in similar conditions.
Vanderhoof said she was led to Dr. Eric Levine at UConn because she knew him as someone who's 'famous.'
