About the event
We proudly invite you to the 2022 Sanford Burnham Prebys Rare Disease Day Symposium & CDG/NGLY1 Family Conference, February 25-27, 2022 in San Diego, CA. The 2022 event is co-organized by Sanford Burnham Prebys and CDG CARE.
The objective of this Conference is to combine patient-centered science and real-world strategies for patients and families living with a Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation in a supportive and friendly environment. We will facilitate the meeting and collaboration of approximately 150 medical professionals and families in order to share knowledge and experience, and discuss common issues of patients living with CDG.
This joint scientific and family symposium will be held at The Dana on Mission Bay in San Diego, CA, with the scientific session on February 25-26, and the family session on February 27, 2022.

Please note that speakers and topics are subject to change. To facilitate communication between the scientific and family communities, all participants are encouraged to attend the full symposium.
In partnership with CDG CARE, the 2022 Sanford Burnham Prebys Rare Disease Day Symposium & CDG/NGLY1 Family Conference will focus on Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation "CDG Models and Therapy".
Researchers, clinicians, patients, family members, industry experts, and inspirational advocates will bring their talents and special stories to Mission Bay in San Diego, CA. Together, we will foster new perspectives, ideas, and collaborations to accelerate therapeutic efforts for those living with CDG.
Scientific topics are broad and diverse including:
- Basic Science of Multiple CDGs
- Glycosylation Disorder Models
- Overview: Models and Therapies
Family topics will include:
- CDG & NGLY1 Clinical Care Management
- Research: Current Studies, Patient Opportunities and Future Outlook
- Innovative and Recommended Therapies and Beyond
Scientific and family meetings will be bridged by three interactive events:
- A poster session on Friday evening where scientists and clinicians present emerging research in Glycobiology and CDG
- Our biennial innovative doctor-is-in session, where physicians and scientists meet with small groups of family members in a round-robin format, on Saturday afternoon
- Family/Scientist Networking time on Saturday evening
