Fall River Teen Seeks Bone Marrow Transplant Amid Rare Genetic Disorder
Broeden Sabin, a 17-year-old from Fall River, Massachusetts, is urgently seeking a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Despite undergoing intensive chemotherapy, Sabin has not found a compatible donor match in global databases due to a rare genetic disorder that complicates his case. His family, including his mother Kerynn Morss, is actively organizing donor drives to increase the chances of finding a match. The DKMS, a major bone marrow donor center, highlights the challenge of finding a 'perfect genetic twin' for transplant compatibility. Sabin's family faces additional hurdles as health complications disqualify potential family donors.
