The PND association is a disease organization representing children and families who are affected by a pediatric neurotransmitter disease.

We currently represent the following pediatric neurotransmitter diseases (click on disease for more information):

• Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SSADH)
• Tyrosine Hydroxylase Deficiency (TH)
• Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase Deficiency (AADC)
• Guanosine Triphosphate Cyclohydrolase I Deficiency(GCH I, GTP Cyclohydrolase, GTPCH)
• Sepiapterin Reductase Deficiency (SR)  

Our mission is to help children and families who are affected by PND's, support the identification of new PND's, find better treatments and ultimately a cure for those diseases that are already known. The PND Association is a non-profit, voluntary organization. To learn more go to about us.
