Brittani isn’t the only sMothered star who lives with a rare disorder; Alena was born with something called MPS VI. According to the National MPS Society, this is a mucopolysaccharide disease known as Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome.

It involves a wide range of symptoms, including: short stature, macrocephaly, progressively coarse facial features, spinal cord compression, carpal tunnel syndrome, sleep apnea, impaired hearing, and more. MPS VI is estimated to be found in 1 in 250,000 to 600,000 newborns, making Alena’s condition even rarer than Brittani’s.
