Brazilian ONH and SOD Stem Cell Patients
Manuela and Giulia come from the same region of Brazil. News of Manuela's fundraising efforts introduced Giulia's family to umbilical cord blood stem cells. While Manuela has optic nerve hypoplasia, Giulia suffers from septo optic dysplasia. Both conditions include underdevelopment of the optic nerve. Both received transplants of umbilical cord blood stem cells administered at Qingdao's Chengyang's People's Hospital.

About this data
Patients self-assess each symptom on a 5-point scale (Worse / No improvement / Small / Moderate / Significant) at follow-up checkpoints after treatment, comparing to their pre-treatment baseline. "Reported improvement" combines the small, moderate and significant buckets. Data is updated daily from our internal patient registry. As with any medical treatment, past results do not guarantee future outcomes — improvements vary from patient to patient.
