BRAVO TV – DENISE RICHARDS BREAKS DOWN WHILE EXPLAINING THE RARE DISORDER THAT AFFECTS HER DAUGHTER, ELOISE

Article By Tamara Palmer

Denise Richards adopted her 8-year-old daughter, Eloise, in 2011, joining daughters Sam and Lola (who she had with ex-husband Charlie Sheen). Eloise was later diagnosed with a rare disorder, Chromosome 8, Monosomy 8p, which has been emotional for the family, she explained on the first part of the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion in the clip above.

“It’s caused many delays with her and it’s caused a lot with speech, development,” Denise said. “We found out probably two years ago exactly. It was a very difficult thing to diagnose, she went through a lot. It was really hard when I saw what was written on the medical report to get the blood test and all the testing done. It was hard to see it in black and white, to be honest.”

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

  • Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
  • Lead with knowledge from patients. Currently, there is no cure for 8p disorders, nor is there a standard course of treatment.

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

  • Raise transformative funding for pioneering scientific research into treatments for a complex, rare disease involving 250+ affected genes on the short arm of the 8 th chromosome (8p). Rearrangements of these genes causes significant abnormalities to the entire neurological system, thus all organs and functions of the body– with variance in cognitive functions, gross motor skills, social development and other challenges during infancy, and throughout life;
  • Empower a unified community of 8p patients and their families so they can have meaningful lives today; and
  • Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
