Bridget Porter (Metz) joins the show to share her son, Connor’s, story with Loeys-Dietz syndrome, which he was diagnosed with after he died of an aortic dissection at the age of 13. Connor was seen by a geneticist a few years before he died, but was told there was no need for a genetic test. Bridget and her family have been involved in efforts to raise awareness and funds for research since his death in 2020.
