Ironic, given the recent deaths by suicide of pro runners that also suffered from depression.

Lopes-Schliep has the LMNA R482W gene mutation, and was diagnosed with Dunnigan-type Lipodystrophy. The diagnosis came from research conducted by Jill Viles, a muscular dystrophy patient, who spotted physical similarities between herself and Lopes-Schliep and encouraged her to undergo genetic testing. The results confirmed Dunnigan-type Lipodystrophy, and alerted Lopes-Schliep to a potential pancreatitis attack due to the high levels of fat in her blood, though this was avoided by modifying her diet.[10][11]
