Blood Research Institute Allows Twins with Bleeding Disorders to Live Normal Lives

Gunwant Guron (right). Daniel and Danielle Jenkins suffer from Von Willebrand Disease (VWD), a genetic bleeding disorder that prevents blood from clotting. But despite the disease, the 17-year old twins from Carteret have had otherwise completely normal childhood thanks to the Blood Research Institute at Saint Michael’s Medical Center in Newark, where they have been patients since they were babies. As lifelong patients of the Blood Research Institute, they’ve learned how to deal with their disease. They are seen once a year for evaluation which includes physical exam, blood tests, and ongoing counseling and education. Both are now seniors at Marist High School in Bayonne, where Daniella is president of her sorority and Daniel is dean of pledges. “You can still live a pretty normal life as long as you manage it,” Danielle said. “I’ve always wanted to be a football player,” Daniel said.
