"A Caye não sabe como é viver um dia sem dor", lamenta a mãe das irmãs de 12 anos. É um caso único no mundo.

Cayetana and Celia are identical twins with the same DNA, but only Cayetana suffers from progressive osseous heteroplasia, turning her body tissues to bone.

L’enigma scientifico è ancora irrisolto. Le due sorelle spagnole dodicenni condividono la stessa mutazione genetica, ma una sola ha una rara malattia che trasforma i suoi muscoli in ossa che l’hanno costretta all’amputazione delle gambe

Las hermanas Cayetana y Celia, de 12 años, comparten una misma mutación genética, pero solo una desarrolló una enfermedad ultrarrara que convierte el músculo en placas óseas

"We are always behind the disease," acknowledges the doctor, head of Pediatrics at the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago de Compostela.
