Patient Stories
Our members have shared their experiences living with citrin deficiency. If you would like to share your experiences with us, please feel free to get in touch with us here.
Please find the stories below.
“When I was in elementary and junior high school, I did not disclose to my classmates and friends that I had citrin deficiency at all.”
“We got a genetic test which revealed that we were both carriers of citrin deficiency.”
“My brother who died 11 years ago had CTLN2*.”(*Currently known as AACD)
“my ammonia levels were tested, and it was determined that I was likely to have citrin deficiency.”
The answer to my discomfort from childhood: Citrin Deficiency, the condition my child taught me about.
“regardless of the diagnosis, we didn’t really know what to do exactly, and doctors had a difficult time diagnosing me. So, for the most part, it was just experimenting a little bit. Reflecting back now, I wasn’t really aware of this kind of experimental period, it was kind of just my family allowing me to listen to my body.”
“The unexpected ICU admission where our son was diagnosed with citrin deficiency”
“Over the years we were lucky enough to meet people who helped us unconditionally. I am highly grateful to Citrin Foundation who guided us! Their friendship and support are so valuable to us, that I cannot imagine our life without them! ”
