TORONTO Toronto chef Matt Kantor and his wife Alana Kayfetz are getting a rapid medical education after their youngest son, Henry, was recently diagnosed with an extremely rare condition. Henry has a genetic syndrome called Myhre Syndrome. It affects between 200 and 250 people in the world, Kantor told CTV News Toronto. Dr. Gregory Costain, a metabolic genetics specialist at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children, said it was first discovered in the 1980’s and a test for the condition was only developed in 2012.
Myhre Syndrome is a degenerative condition that affects the connective tissue in the body. “Over time, things become stiff and they tighten and so major organs from our heart and the vessels that come out of it, to our airways, to our joints, and our skin are compromised and there can be these life-threatening complications,” Costain said.

Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton Emergency Care Centre has experienced a 33 per cent increase in the number of patients in the first four months of 2021 compared with the same period last year.
The data also represents a 49 per cent rise in the number of patients presenting between January and April compared with that period in 2019.
Executive officer Sue Thurbon chalked the increase up to “greater accessibility and minimal waiting times”, and said the Rockhampton hospital had a long history of providing care to the people of Central Queensland.
“Mater has been part of the fabric of the Rockhampton community for more than a century,” she said.
