The drive behind the passion

Dr. Jannine Cody of UT Health is a great example of how a mother’s love can benefit families around the world. Her daughter was born with a rare, largely unstudied, genetic abnormality.

Determined to learn more, Dr. Cody formed a family support group, called the Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society. The registry includes 2,000 families in the United States.

Dr. Cody leads a center that focuses on treatment options and educating families about chromosome 18 abnormalities.

She was featured in Camilla Rambaldi’s SA STRONG segment on Fox 29 San Antonio/KABB.
