Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (COG) are a group of rare metabolic disorders that affect normal organ development and the neurological system. Children, adolescents, and adults afflicted by COG may be impaired with significant physical and developmental disabilities; and
WHEREAS:
COG is severely under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed in a number of patients . Currently there are about 1,000 cases of COG reported in the U.S.; and
WHEREAS:
Early diagnosis of COG is important to ensure effective management of clinical complications, genetic counseling, treatment, and therapeutic remedies; and
WHEREAS:
Increased awareness about the existence of COG will lead to more timely diagnoses for afflicted individuals and more effective medical care for those diagnosed; now
THEREFORE:
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim May 16, 2016 as Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Awareness Day in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 2nd day of May in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen.
