Description
Summary:Ryan Dant was one of only 40 babies in the U.S. born each year with a condition called Mucopolysaccharidosis, or MPS-1, part of a family of genetic diseases in which the patient is missing an enzyme necessary for the body to function properly. The condition is nearly always fatal. Ryan's parents, Mark and Jeanne Dant, were told they could do little more than wait for their boy to die. But the Dants were unwilling to accept that. So Mark Dant went to work. Vicki Mabrey reports.
