Growing up With a Rare Disease: An Alagille Syndrome Warrior on Understanding Her Rare Disease and Participating in Research

Being born with, and growing up with a rare disease means you don't necessarily know any other way of life. This month we spoke with 23-year-old Anna Laurent, who was born with Alagille Syndrome, and as she grew up, she gradually learned about what that meant, and how her life was different from other kids' lives. She tells us about her symptoms and treatment experiences, participating in research, and her involvement with rare disease advocacy. Anna also recently graduated from college so she tells us about her new job! Visit RareShare.org to find your community.
