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.)

About Bertrand

Born in December 2007, Bertrand is a charming, serious, young man. He lives in Salt Lake City, UT and has global developmental delays (0-6 months-old developmental), brain damage, intractable multifocal epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, liver damage, osteopenia, cortical visual impairment, movement disorder, and alacrima (lack of tears) resulting in corneal erosion.

Support Research

Research Fund

The Bertrand Might Research Fund has been established at Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute, a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Your donation will help Dr. Hudson Freeze’s lab begin to unravel the mystery of N-Glycanase deficiency, and hopefully find a treatment in the near future. DONATE HERE
