Glycosylation anomalies

Glycosylation anomalies are rare conditions where the body’s process of attaching sugar molecules to proteins and fats doesn't work properly. This "sugar attachment" is essential for normal cell function, signaling, and immune response. When it’s disrupted, it can lead to a wide range of health issues, including developmental delays, organ problems, and metabolic issues. These disorders are often inherited and diagnosed through specialized blood tests. Understanding and managing them typically requires a team of medical specialists, and some may benefit from supportive treatments or therapies tailored to their specific deficiencies.
