Research helps us better understand diseases and can lead to advances in diagnosis and treatment. This section provides resources to help you learn about medical research and ways to get involved.
Support and advocacy groups can help you connect with other patients and families, and they can provide valuable services. Many develop patient-centered information and are the driving force behind research for better treatments and possible cures. They can direct you to research, resources, and services. Many organizations also have experts who serve as medical advisors or provide lists of doctors/clinics. Visit the group’s website or contact them to learn about the services they offer. Inclusion on this list is not an endorsement by GARD.
These resources provide more information about this condition or associated symptoms. The in-depth resources contain medical and scientific language that may be hard to understand. You may want to review these resources with a medical professional.

My daughter who is 3 months old has a large cafe-au-lait lesion that has darkened since birth. It is very classical for this syndome (midline, coast of Maine, covers entire right buttocks and back of leg). We were referred to a pediatric dermatologist and she is being worked up for McCune Albright. The next step is a full series of x-rays. They are not sure taking them this early would show any bony changes. Do you have any recommendations of steps we can take now to determine if she does indeed have this syndrome and to what degree she is affected? See answer
What is the life expectancy? See answer
