HRES 385 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of May 2, 2025, as "NKH Awareness Day".

This resolution expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating May 2, 2025, as "NKH Awareness Day" to raise public and medical community awareness of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), a rare genetic metabolic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 76,000 people worldwide. It directly supports the small community of NKH patients and their families, including the estimated 4 individuals diagnosed in Virginia, by highlighting the need for greater education and research. The resolution does not create new programs or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to encourage increased attention to NKH diagnosis, research, and patient registry participation.
