#SweetThankU to all Families and Friends who got involved during World Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) Awareness Day!
We appreciate the Time and Motivation all the community dedicated to boost CDG Awareness. We submitted an application to WHO to declare 16th May as the annual World CDG Awareness Day. The process will take between 1 to 2 years for us to have feedback. Anyway, save the date 16th May 2017 to join forces around the world and increase visibility and awareness for CDG. Starting TODAY and throughout this week we will be Sweet Thanking all that played a tremendous role in making May 16th World CDG Awareness Day a reality - YOU! Keep an eye on our social media networks: Facebook Pages: SindromeCDG and World Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation - CDG Awareness Day Twitter Account: @CDG_Portugal LinkedIN: Portuguese Association CDG We appreciate your help! #SweetThankU Show you care, Be aware!

It promotes knowledge and exhange of ideas and views among different and diverse professionals. This year's annual meeting was held in Rome. Both CDG and APCDG were represented in the meeting! There was a number of interesting talks by important physicians and researchers on different CDG-related topics. Our Volunteer Maria Monticelli had the opportunity to be present, witness the talks as well as to represent the CDG community (APCDG had a booth, where information about CDG was available). Moreover, the most recent CDG&Allies-PPAIN research work “Liver involvement in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation – Literature review” was accepted and exposed as a scientific poster. Based on what Maria saw, learned and did at SSIEM Rome 2016, she wrote a report, so that the entire CDG community and the general public could have access to the information and knowledge that were exchanged during this relevant scientific gathering. Thank you Maria! Download the document below!. ![]()
