Hi! Welcome to our blog.

NGLY1.org

N-glycanase (NGLY1) deficiency awareness, diagnosis, research, and support.

Medical Journey

Bertrand is the first case of N-glycanase deficiency in medical literature.

It took 4 years and a team of remarkable researchers to receive this diagnosis.

A synopsis of Bertrand's medical journey (on his dad's blog).

The article from The Journal of Medical Genetics is open access. (Bertrand and parents are "Trio 2" in the study.)
