"Missouri Parents Shocked as Baby is Born Without Eyes"

A Missouri couple was shocked when their baby girl, Wrenley, was born without eyes due to a rare genetic condition affecting only 30 people worldwide. Wrenley has haploinsufficiency of the PRR-12 gene, causing her eyes to not develop in the womb. The family is preparing for surgery to unseal her eyelids and provide prosthetics to help her facial structure develop normally. Experts estimate a 50 percent chance Wrenley could pass the condition on to her future children. The family has launched a GoFundMe to cover medical costs, and they are focused on helping Wrenley navigate the world without vision.
