Baby born with ultra-rare condition that affects just 400 people in the world after ‘normal’ pregnancy

A baby girl, one of only 400 worldwide with a rare genetic condition, was born after a ‘normal’ pregnancy to parents Crawford and Brenton. Shreve arrived premature due to intrauterine growth restriction. At 19 months, she faces challenges such as microcephaly and brain calcifications, with a diagnosis of CTNNB1 syndrome. The family remains hopeful for future treatments, with a clinical trial scheduled for July 2025. Shreve’s resilience inspires them daily.
