Effie Parks shares her personal story of raising a child with CTNNB1 syndrome, a rare and chronic condition, while trying to find the non-existent rule book for bringing up such a special kid. Once Upon a Gene features interviews with fellow parents, therapists, doctors and anyone else who wants to share their story!

Host Effie Parks, in her own words:

“As a new parent of a child with a rare genetic syndrome, I was lost. There was no guide. There was no rulebook. This was not what I had imagined. As I navigated my way through this new reality and through the isolation I was feeling, I realized something that should have been simple, but was not. A truth that had always been there, but that I had lost sight of for a time - I am not alone.

And neither are you.

These are the stories of my family, and of families like ours. These are the stories of how we have persevered, bonded, and grown. These are the stories of children who have been told that they cannot, and that have proved the world wrong.”
