JSRD: The prognosis for individuals with JSRD varies. Some individuals are able to live independent, productive lives. However, most will require various degrees of supportive care for their whole lives. Individuals who have severe renal or hepatic impairment have a shortened life expectancy. You can find support and information at the JSRD Foundation. http://jsrdf.org/jslife/ Best wishes to you all.
