Dear All

Yesterday, my patient baby Risha Ammara became the first Indian patient ever with congenital leptin deficiency to be initiated on treatment with recombinant leptin at the Adenbrooks Hospital, Cambridge, UK, presently the worlds largest centre for treatment of this disorder

I am delighted to have diagnosed this child in Mumbai, be a part of the treating team here at Cambridge and subsequently look after the baby when she moves back to India. I wish to thank Prof Sadaf Farooqi, Consultant and an exemplary researcher in this field at the Cambridge University for the assistance & opportunity to collaborate on this Herculean task.

During my present trip to Cambridge, I have managed to coordinate a collaboration for the treatment of this disorder in India as well and also on the genetic diagnosis of a few of other rare Pediatric Endocrine Disorders with other researchers as well
