Healthcare professionals, patient organizations and support networks can provide important information, guidance and connection throughout the journey with MCT8 deficiency.

Build Your Support Network

Support may come from:

• Specialist physicians and multidisciplinary healthcare teams
• Patient advocacy and support organizations
• Local, national and international rare disease networks
