Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation

Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders that affect the process of glycosylation, where sugar chains are added to proteins and fats. These disorders can impact multiple organs, causing developmental delays, neurological issues, liver dysfunction, and other systemic problems. Early genetic testing and supportive therapies are essential for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
