UMDF Brings Awareness, Support for Patients and Families on TK2d Tuesday — Sept. 13, 2022

This Tuesday, September 13 is TK2d Tuesday, a day to bring awareness to a rare genetic mitochondrial disease, Thymidine kinase 2 deficiency.  It’s estimated up to 2,700 people in the United States are living with TK2d.

We thank the many patients, families, clinicians, and others who have volunteered, advocated and supported the TK2d community. If you or a family member is living with TK2d, we encourage you to reach out to UMDF at support@umdf.org or 1-888-317-UMDF.
