Hello and welcome to GlycoCast, a journey of families, sugars and rare disorders. I'm your host, Dr. Ivan Martinez, and as always, I'm thrilled you've joined us. In today's episode, we have a truly inspiring guest, someone who has not just weathered a storm but has found a way to dance in the rain. Meet Karen Morici, a brave mother and co-host of this podcast, who's sharing an intimate look into her life. Karen's world took an unexpected turn when her child, Dominic, was diagnosed with PMM2-CDG, a rare genetic disorder where the synthesis of glycans, sugar blocks essential for life, is disrupted. Today, Karen who is co-host of this podcast will be sharing her experiences from receiving Dominic's diagnosis to managing day-to-day life, the highs and lows, the struggles and victories. Her story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a mother's unwavering love. For more information on congenital disorders of glycosylation please visit our sponsor at cdgcare.org.
