Скачать или смотреть AADC Deficiency Awareness Day 2022

Please join us virtually on October 21st for our third annual AADC Deficiency Awareness Day (10/23 observed on Friday, 10/21 this year), and help us raise awareness for this debilitating rare disease! This event is hosted by the AADC Family Network.

Aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare disease that affects the brain. It interferes with the way the cells in the nervous system talk to each other through neurotransmitters. People with AADC deficiency often exhibit poor muscle tone, body movement disorders and involuntary eye movements. Because it is difficult to diagnose, AADC deficiency is sometimes mistaken for cerebral palsy or epilepsy.

Tune in at 11:00 a.m. ET to meet patients, caregivers and experts as they share information about AADC deficiency, patient advocacy and gene therapy.
