"Newborn stem cell preservation gave our son a future."

Family of four standing in their backyard.

Never in a million years did Dr. Michael and Armené K.^† think their family would ever need to use their firstborn son’s preserved newborn stem cells.

That changed just three years later with the birth of a second son. Baby Sasoun was diagnosed with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome (SCID). This rare genetic disorder would most likely be fatal within the first year or two of life unless Sasoun received an immune-restoring treatment.¹

Meet the incredible family and watch the story of Sasoun’s remarkable recovery made possible by his older brother’s newborn stem cells.
