Man may name rare disease "Ligma."

A man with a rare genetic disorder may name his condition "Ligma," potentially leading to its recognition as a medical term. This follows an offer from the National Institute of Health to name the disorder. The man, known as "Typo," was diagnosed with a condition affecting his telomeres, causing accelerated aging and various health problems. He was initially misdiagnosed with cancer before the correct diagnosis. Typo, a guest on the H3 Podcast, is considering "Ligma" as the name, despite initial concerns. The final decision will be made by a panel of doctors after further testing.
