Photo: @randyolson/@thephotosociety with @melissafarlow and @pablocorralvega | Quito, Ecuador is a vibrant city with a wide range of life... one of the more interesting residents are these folks who are immune to cancer because they lack a key growth hormone that keeps them small but doesn’t allow cancer or diabetes later in life. Single mothers and sisters Maritza and Lugartda raise their sons and also participate in groundbreaking genetic studies on Laron syndrome by another famous Quito resident - Dr. Jaime Guevara-Aguirre offering clues to all of us for longevity and even possibly a cure for cancer. For more info go to @geneticislands or @artesdequito or google Laron syndrome and New York Times | #Ecuador #Quito #Laron #LittlePeople #Cancer
