Josefine Scholl, 17, Reveals Rare McCune-Albright Syndrome on TikTok

Her TikTok disclosure draws attention to McCune-Albright syndrome, a rare genetic disorder managed with symptomatic care.

Overview

  • The teenager explained that fibrous dysplasia causes voids in her bones, making them more susceptible to fractures.
  • She said she experiences daily pain, particularly on her right side, and suffered a femur fracture in 2022.
  • Because of the condition she reported stopping sports and focusing on physiotherapy to build muscle and limit injury risk.
  • Medical summaries in the coverage describe MAS as very rare, caused by GNAS mutations, not inherited, affecting bones, skin and hormones, with no cure.
  • Her father, former Bayern and Germany player Mehmet Scholl, has not commented publicly on her disclosure.
