Cutis laxa: 'They say I’m sick, but I know there’s nothing wrong with me' - BBC Africa

In one Nigerian family, three of seven children were born looking different from the rest, sparking many theories. The BBC’s Uche Akolisa met this family that has refused to let the attention define them, and the children have embraced positivity. For the first time, the BBC can report that the family has been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition known as Cutis laxa – a disorder so uncommon that it affects an estimated one in a million people worldwide. 🎤 Uche Akolisa 🎥 Kelechi Anozia 💻 Emmanuel James 🎬 Caleb Ojewale Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
