Three children die from the same metabolic disease within three years

Three children die from the same metabolic disease within three years

Margreet’s three children died from the same metabolic disease within three years.

Her daughter and two sons were aged 9, 10 and 5.

The illness was first noticed after the children began reading books very close to their eyes, prompting Margreet to take them to an optician.

What seemed like a minor vision problem turned out to be a sign of a serious disease.

The disease affected all three children, but no further details about its name or treatment are given.

The family’s experience was described as an ongoing ordeal.

The account gives no information about what happens next.
