This section is dedicated to Nadya Kursaeva (2001-2007), one of the first children to be diagnosed with MSUD in Russia. Her mother, Anna Kursaeva, translated these MSUD-related materials into Russian in hopes that easily accessable information will help doctors diagnose children sooner. It is Anna's hope that the lives of Russian children diagnosed with this desease in the future would not have to be as difficult and short as Nadya's.
