Summary
This study looked at whether taking a simple sugar supplement every day could improve the health of 20 children with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), a rare genetic condition that affects how the body builds important sugar chains. Researchers measured growth, blood sugar, liver function, and other health markers to see if the supplement made a difference. The goal was to manage the disease, not cure it.
