Materials dedicated to Metabolic Diseases Awareness

The Portuguese Association for CDG in collaboration with the international CDG research network - CDG & Allies -PPAIN and worldwide CDG families is generating new educational and awareness materials.  These pictures with CDG Facts are an educational way of learning more about CDG and increase awareness about these disorders.
In our blog we are continuously making available publications and related resources considered of major interest for CDG Community. Please visit it for further information.

CDG Fact #4
Did you know that…

Living with Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) means that you face numerous challenges EVERY DAY? CDG children and adults often have many organs affected and their lives if often at risk. They have to do many therapies, and take medication or even undergo surgery to keep as healthy as possible.

CDG Fact #5
Did you know that…

The eyes are one of organs which is most frequently affected in CDG children and adults (and across the different CDG types)?
Strabismus (crossed eyes), myopia (nearsightedness), cataracts or retinitis pigmentosa are some of the eye problems seen in CDG.
But, many other organs and systems can be affected in CDG, such as the brain, heart, liver, immune system or the bones.

CDG Fact #6
Did you know that…

Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) are such complicated and complex diseases that even siblings with the same condition can have very different clinical manifestations?

That is yet another reason why CDG is so hard to diagnose – It can puzzle and deceive you (doctors, researchers and other healthcare professionals) in so many ways!

So next time you find yourself thinking “This could be metabolic”, test for CDG!
