Tom’s story

We’d like to introduce you to Tom.

Tom is 26 years of age, he has two law degrees: an LLB Euro from the University of Exeter and a Master 1 (EU Law) from the L’Université de Rennes 11. He now lives in the South West of England and works in digital marketing. He is a paracyclist and is married.

Tom has always had tight skin and poor joint flexibility. He was diagnosed with diabetes and hearing loss at the age of 13 years. He has a small jaw (mandibular hypoplasia) and very little subcutaneous fat. In this first video Tom describes the symptoms of his syndrome (known as MDP syndrome) and how he manages these.
