May 16th, World Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) Awareness Day

Target to: World Health Organisation (WHO)
Society needs to know that Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) is a serious cause of death and disability. Patients and family members, suffer directly the consequences of living with a disease, for which the most forms do not have a cure.
While public awareness and understanding of rare disease challenges has increased in recent years, much remains to be done. Limited awareness and visibility of CDG contributes to underdiagnosis of these disorders, as well as difficulties in accessing specialised services and proper rehabilitation support. Early diagnosis of CDG is important for several reasons such as the timely management of clinical problems, genetic counseling, and when available, treatment. Thus, CDG is the prototype of condition that cries out for visibility and awareness-raising actions targeted for families, professionals and general public. Consequently, research on CDG to pave the way for therapeutic approaches and development will be boosted. 
In the light to the need of awareness and visibility, CDG community takes the step to formally request from the World Health Organization (WHO) the declaration of an annual World Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) Awareness Day on May 16th.
