A rare gene mutation that can lead to cardiac arrest, which is inherited in the offspring of the sufferer, was found to have Roula Pispirigou, according to a Press Release issued by her advocate, Alexis Kougias.

On the occasion of the admission of the accused for the deaths of all three of her children to the hospital and reports referring to an autoimmune disease from which his principal suffers, Mr. Kougias emphasizes in the Press Release that Roula Pispirigou, in addition to the autoimmune disease, was diagnosed with gene mutation, which may have affected all three of her daughters.

The advocate states that if the children of the Daskalakis family had been thoroughly examined and had received the appropriate treatment, since they had inherited the maternal mutation, their deaths would have been prevented.

Mr. Kouya’s Press Release, among other things, notes the following:

“On the initiative of “Samaritans”, actual doctors of the People’s Hospital of Athens, with a high sense of responsibility for the lives of our fellow human beings, Ms. SP was transferred to the above hospital in the last few days, because the prison officials found that her health was rapidly deteriorating.

Contrary to those who allegedly examined Ms. S.P. in the past. (since there were the same symptoms in her history, but no extensive checkup was done since 2019, despite the loss of Maria – Eleni) and they allegedly tried to connect the unexpected deaths of her 3 children with some autoimmune disease and allegedly subjected her to all genetic tests, the doctors of the People’s Hospital, carrying out special gene tests and also special blood tests, which tests and which tests were obliged to carry out in the past by all the doctors of all the hospitals where Ms. S.P. was examined, discovered on the one hand that he suffers from the incurable, autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus, on the one hand (and this is of particular interest in the deaths of the 3 children) that he has a rare mutation of a homozygous gene responsible for vascular disorders, which can certainly lead to syncope and death from cardiac arrest and is inherited by the offspring of the sufferer.

This is not an autoimmune disease, because, in order for Ms. S.P. not to suffer either. systolic episodes and cardiac arrest, she must receive special medication, which her late children should also receive, since it had been investigated and found after responsible checks on them alive that they suffer from the same rare homozygous gene mutation, as their mother, who is currently also receiving protective antiplatelet therapy.

Unfortunately, for Ms. Defendant and her late children, Ms. Defendant did not undergo these checks, which even cost a lot of money, because unfortunately Ms. Defendant was a defenseless – poor woman – mother.

If the relevant checks had been carried out since 2019, not only would the mother’s health have been protected, but, most importantly, the hospitalizations of Maria – Eleni and Georgina would have been properly managed and the deaths of all three girls would have been prevented.

Especially regarding Georgina’s hospitalizations in Karamandanio, Rio, Onasio and “P. & A. Kyriakou”, if due medical importance had been given, as the first action of a doctor is to take a correct and complete history, but the documents in the medical file do not indicate taking a history of the mother and in general of the parents and their family tree , Georgina would have been subjected to a complete immunological and genetic control, where, in combination with the clinical symptoms during her admission to Karamandanio, but also during her stay there, the episode of arrest with hypoxic encephalopathy would have been avoided, while the consecutive syncopal episodes would be attributed to the above gene and there would be prompt treatment as prescribed by medical protocols.

My congratulations to these “Samaritan” doctors who, in addition to saving Ms. accused with this timely diagnosis, will also save the Greek Judiciary from succumbing, as has happened so far, to the biggest judicial error since Greece became independent Greek state”.
