The Mog Project

The MOG Project is a nonprofit organization devoted to raising global awareness of Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody Disease (MOGAD). Our efforts include educating doctors, medical professionals, patients and caregivers, advancing research through expert collaboration and fundraising, and providing support and advocacy for our community in hopes of finding a cure. MOGAD is a neuroimmune disorder that causes inflammation primarily in the optic nerve but can also affect the spinal cord and brain. MOG is a protein located on the surface of myelin sheaths in the central nervous system. MOGAD is diagnosed through a test that looks for the level of MOG antibodies in the blood. The test should be given to any patient who has an inflammatory attack of the central nervous system. Because of the rare nature of the disorder, it is often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.
