RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) represent a heterogeneous group of rare inherited metabolic disorders due to abnormalities in protein or lipid glycosylation pathways, affecting multiple systems, and frequently being accompanied by neurological symptoms. ALG11-CDG, also known as CDG-1p, arises from a deficiency in a specific mannosyltransferase encoded by the ALG11 gene. To date, only 17 cases have been documented, and these patients have prominent clinical phenotypes, including seizures, developmental delay, and microcephaly. METHODS: We describe a novel case of a four-month-old boy from a Chinese family exhibiting developmental delay, seizures, and microcephaly. Trio whole-exome sequencing (WES) and subsequent Sanger sequencing were employed to identify the potential genetic cause, and functional study was performed to evaluate the pathogenicity of genetic variant identified. RESULTS: Trio WES unveiled novel compound heterozygous variants: c.1307G>T (p.G436V) and c.1403G>A (p.R468H) within exon 4 of the ALG11 gene, inherited from the father and mother, respectively. Subsequent in vitro functional analysis revealed decreased stability of the mutant protein and concurrent hypoglycosylation of GP130, a hyperglycosylated protein. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings not only expand the clinical and variant spectrum of ALG11-CDG, but also emphasize the importance of WES as a first-tier genetic test in determining the molecular diagnosis.

RESUMO

Phosphoglucomutase-1-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PGM1-CDG) is a rare genetic disorder caused by biallelic variants in the PGM1 gene, leading to the deficiency of the PGM1 enzyme. The most common clinical presentations include muscle involvement, failure to thrive, cleft palate, and cardiac involvement. Abnormal serum N-glycosylation, hypoglycemia, and liver function abnormalities including coagulation abnormalities are the most common laboratory abnormalities. While PGM1-CDG has been extensively studied, little is known about the extent of the coagulation abnormalities in individuals with PGM1-CDG. Unlike most CDG, some symptoms of PGM1-CDG are treatable with D-galactose (D-gal) supplementation, though reliable clinical endpoints are necessary to appropriately evaluate the potential improvement with D-gal in PGM1-CDG. Here, we aimed to describe the incidence of coagulation abnormalities in PGM1-CDG and their evolution, their relation to clinical events, and the ability of D-gal treatment to improve them. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 reported individuals. All individuals had a molecularly confirmed PGM1-CDG diagnosis. All incidences of antithrombin (AT), aPTT, PT, factor (F) XI, FX, FIX, FVII, protein C and protein S data and major clinical events related to coagulation abnormalities, were collected. Coagulation information was available for only 58.9 % of the reported individuals, out of which 67.4 % of PGM1-CDG individuals were reported to have abnormalities. The most frequently observed abnormality was AT (mean: 30.8% R:80-120 %) deficiency. Four individuals had major thrombotic events. Coagulation status on D-gal treatment, were reported in 19 individuals. Several factors showed improvement including AT (mean: 64.5 %), indicating galactose is beneficial in treating coagulation abnormalities in PGM1-CDG. Due to the scarcity of the reported data on coagulation parameters, we also evaluated data collected in sixteen PGM1-CDG individuals enrolled in the FCDGC Natural History Study. Longitudinal data showed improvements in several coagulant parameters and disease severity improved for almost all patients of whom we had multiple datapoints on D-gal. AT showed significant improvement on D-gal. We conclude that coagulation abnormalities are frequently present in PGM1-CDG and show improvement on D-gal. We recommend coagulation parameters should be routinely checked in individuals with PGM1-CDG or suspected of having PGM1-CDG. Finally, AT may be used as a primary or secondary clinical endpoint for upcoming clinical trials in PGM1-CDG individuals.

RESUMO

Congenital disorders of glycosylation type I (CDG-I) are a group of autosomal recessive genetic multisystem disorders that arise from defective glycoprotein biosynthesis. Although ocular abnormalities have been described in patients with CDG-I, few ocular abnormalities have been associated with ALG12-CDG (CDG-Ig), a rare subtype of CDG-I. We report a case of Duane syndrome, a congenital strabismus syndrome, in a 17-year-old young woman with ALG12-CDG.

RESUMO

ALG13-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG), is a rare X-linked CDG caused by pathogenic variants in ALG13 (OMIM 300776) that affects the N-linked glycosylation pathway. Affected individuals present with a predominantly neurological manifestation during infancy. Epileptic spasms are a common presenting symptom of ALG13-CDG. Other common phenotypes include developmental delay, seizures, intellectual disability, microcephaly, and hypotonia. Current management of ALG13-CDG is targeted to address patients' symptoms. To date, less than 100 individuals have been reported with ALG13-CDG. In this article, an international group of experts in CDG reviewed all reported individuals affected with ALG13-CDG and suggested diagnostic and management guidelines for ALG13-CDG. The guidelines are based on the best available data and expert opinion. Neurological symptoms dominate the phenotype of ALG13-CDG where epileptic spasm is confirmed to be the most common presenting symptom of ALG13-CDG in association with hypotonia and developmental delay. We propose that ACTH/prednisolone treatment should be trialed first, followed by vigabatrin, however ketogenic diet has been shown to have promising results in ALG13-CDG. In order to optimize medical management, we also suggest early cardiac, gastrointestinal, skeletal, and behavioral assessments in affected patients.

RESUMO

NGLY1 deficiency is a genetic disease caused by biallelic mutations of the Ngly1 gene. Although epileptic seizure is one of the most severe symptoms in patients with NGLY1 deficiency, preclinical studies have not been conducted due to the lack of animal models for epileptic seizures in NGLY1 deficiency. Here, we observed the behaviors of male and female Ngly1-/- mice by video monitoring and found that these mice exhibit spontaneous seizure-like behaviors. Gene expression analyses and enzyme immunoassay revealed significant decreases in oxytocin, a well-known neuropeptide, in the hypothalamus of Ngly1-/- mice. Seizure-like behaviors in Ngly1-/- mice were transiently suppressed by a single intranasal administration of oxytocin. These findings suggest the therapeutic potential of oxytocin for epileptic seizure in patients with NGLY1 deficiency and contribute to the clarification of the disease mechanism.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are one of the fastest growing groups of inborn errors of metabolism. Despite the availability of next-generation sequencing techniques and advanced methods for evaluation of glycosylation, CDG screening mainly relies on the analysis of serum transferrin (Tf) by isoelectric focusing, HPLC or capillary electrophoresis. The main pitfall of this screening method is the presence of Tf protein variants within the general population. Although reports describe the role of Tf variants leading to falsely abnormal results, their significance in confounding diagnosis in patients with CDG has not been documented so far. Here, we describe two PMM2-CDG cases, in which Tf variants complicated the diagnostic. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Glycosylation investigations included classical screening techniques (capillary electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and HPLC of Tf) and various confirmation techniques (two-dimensional electrophoresis, western blot, N-glycome, UPLC-FLR/QTOF MS with Rapifluor). Tf variants were highlighted following neuraminidase treatment. Sequencing of PMM2 was performed. RESULTS: In both patients, Tf screening pointed to CDG-II, while second-line analyses pointed to CDG-I. Tf variants were found in both patients, explaining these discrepancies. PMM2 causative variants were identified in both patients. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: We suggest that a neuraminidase treatment should be performed when a typical CDG Tf pattern is found upon initial screening analysis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Given the lack of reliable data on the prevalence of bleeding abnormalities and thrombotic episodes in PMM2-CDG patients, and whether coagulation abnormalities change over time, we prospectively collected and reviewed natural history data. Patients with PMM2-CDG often have abnormal coagulation studies due to glycosylation abnormalities but the frequency of complications resulting from these has not been prospectively studied. METHODS: We studied fifty individuals enrolled in the Frontiers in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Consortium (FCDGC) natural history study with molecularly confirmed diagnosis of PMM2-CDG. We collected data on prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), platelets, factor IX activity (FIX), factor XI activity (FXI), protein C activity (PC), protein S activity (PS) and antithrombin activity (AT). RESULTS: Prothrombotic and antithrombotic factor activities were frequently abnormal in PMM2-CDG patients, including AT, PC, PT, INR, and FXI. AT deficiency was the most common abnormality in 83.3% of patients. AT activity was below 50% in 62.5% of all patients (normal range 80-130%). Interestingly, 16% of the cohort experienced symptoms of spontaneous bleeding and 10% had thrombosis. Stroke-like episodes (SLE) were reported in 18% of patients in our cohort. Based on the linear growth models, on average, patients did not show significant change in AT (n = 48; t(23.8) = 1.75, p = 0.09), FIX (n = 36; t(61) = 1.60, p = 0.12), FXI (n = 39; t(22.8) = 1.88, p = 0.07), PS (n = 25; t(28.8) = 1.08, p = 0.29), PC (n = 38; t(68) = 1.61, p = 0.11), INR (n = 44; t(184) = -1.06, p = 0.29), or PT (n = 43; t(192) = -0.69, p = 0.49) over time. AT activity positively correlated with FIX activity. PS activity was significantly lower in males. CONCLUSION: Based on our natural history data and previous literature, we conclude that caution should be exercised when the AT levels are lower than 65%, as most thrombotic events occur in patients with AT below this level. All five, male PMM2-CDG patients in our cohort who developed thrombosis had abnormal AT levels, ranging between 19% and 63%. Thrombosis was associated with infection in all cases. We did not find significant change in AT levels over time. Several PMM2-CDG patients had an increased bleeding tendency. More long-term follow-up is necessary on coagulation abnormalities and the associated clinical symptoms to provide guidelines for therapy, patient management, and appropriate counseling. SYNOPSIS: Most PMM2-CDG patients display chronic coagulation abnormalities without significant improvement, associated with a frequency of 16% clinical bleeding abnormalities, and 10% thrombotic episodes in patients with severe antithrombin deficiency.

RESUMO

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders caused by defects in various defects of protein or lipid glycosylation pathways. The symptoms and signs of CDG usually develop in infancy. Epilepsy is commonly observed in CDG individuals and is often a presenting symptom. These epilepsies can present across the lifespan, share features of refractoriness to antiseizure medications, and are often associated with comorbid developmental delay, psychomotor regression, intellectual disability, and behavioral problems. In this review, we discuss CDG and infantile epilepsy, focusing on an overview of clinical manifestations and electroencephalographic features. Finally, we propose a tiered approach that will permit a clinician to systematically investigate and identify CDG earlier, and furthermore, to provide genetic counseling for the family.

RESUMO

Congenital disorders of glycosylation are a group of rare related disorders causing multisystem dysfunction, including ovarian failure in females that requires early estrogen replacement. Glycosylation defects also disrupt normal synthesis of several coagulation factors, increasing thrombotic risks and complicating hormone replacement. This series describes four females with different types of CDG who developed venous thromboses while on transdermal estrogen replacement. The authors highlight the knowledge gaps around anticoagulation for this population and propose further investigations.

RESUMO

Phosphomannomutase-2-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG) is the most common CDG and presents with highly variable features ranging from isolated neurologic involvement to severe multi-organ dysfunction. Liver abnormalities occur in in almost all patients and frequently include hepatomegaly and elevated aminotransferases, although only a minority of patients develop progressive hepatic fibrosis and liver failure. No curative therapies are currently available for PMM2-CDG, although investigation into several novel therapies is ongoing. We report the first successful liver transplantation in a 4-year-old patient with PMM2-CDG. Over a 3-year follow-up period, she demonstrated improved growth and neurocognitive development and complete normalization of liver enzymes, coagulation parameters, and carbohydrate-deficient transferrin profile, but persistently abnormal IgG glycosylation and recurrent upper airway infections that did not require hospitalization. Liver transplant should be considered as a treatment option for PMM2-CDG patients with end-stage liver disease, however these patients may be at increased risk for recurrent bacterial infections post-transplant.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Congenital disorder of glycosylation caused by mutation of the DOLK(DOLK-CDG) is a group of rare autosomal recessive diseases with an early-onset age and poor prognosis. DOLK-CDG can cause the dysfunction of multiple systems and organs such as the heart, skin, nerves, and bones. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a child with DOLK-CDG diagnosed and treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The child was born with neonatal asphyxia, Ichthyoid rash, and congenital heart disease. His fingers of both the hands looked like lotus roots, and the palm and foot were covered by a white membrane. He was hospitalized with a severe infection at 4 months after birth. Physical examination showed that he was complicated with development delay and hypotonia. He experienced convulsions 1 hour after admission and died of multiple organ failure 2 hours after admission. Blood samples were taken for genetic testing before the child died. The results showed that there was a novel compound heterozygous mutation in DOLK, c.1268C>G (P.P423R) and c.1581_1583del (P.527_528del). CONCLUSION: This mutation is new and not included in the human gene mutation library. The discovery of the novel mutation broadened the mutation spectrum of DOLK. At the same time, we sorted out the DOLK-CDG gene mutation sites and related clinical manifestations reported by August 2021 through a literature review.

RESUMO

Achalasia is rare in the pediatric population and should prompt clinicians to consider genetic disorders associated with this condition. While AAA syndrome (also known as Allgrove or Triple A syndrome) is commonly considered, GMPPA-congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) should also be in the differential diagnosis. We report a 9-month-old female born to nonconsanguineous parents with achalasia and alacrima found to have two novel compound heterozygous variants in the GMPPA gene associated with GMPPA-CDG. This rare disorder is commonly associated with developmental delay and intellectual disability. We discuss management of this disorder including the importance of confirming a genetic diagnosis and summarize reported cases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Deficiency of Conserved Oligomeric Golgi (COG) subunits (COG1-8) is characterized by both N- and O-protein glycosylation defects associated with destabilization and mislocalization of Golgi glycosylation machinery components (COG-CDG). Patients with COG defects present with neurological and multisystem involvement and possible malformation occurrence. Eighteen patients with COG6-CDG (COG6 mutations) were reported to date. We describe a patient with COG6-CDG with novel variants and a novel clinical feature namely a congenital recto-vaginal fistula. METHODS: In-depth serum N- and O-glycosylation structural analyses were conducted by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. COG6 variants were identified by a gene panel and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: This female newborn presented with facial dysmorphism, distal arthrogryposis and recurrent stool discharges per vaginam. A double-contrast barium-enema X-ray study revealed a dehiscence (approximately 5 mm) at the anterior wall of the rectal ampoule communicating with the vagina consistent with a recto-vaginal fistula. She had developmental delay, corpus callosum dysgenesis, liver and gastrointestinal involvement, hyperthermia episodes and early demise. Serum N- and O-glycosylation analyses pointed to a profound Golgi disarrangement. We identified two novel variants in COG6: a deletion of 1 bp mutation c.823delA creating a shift in the reading frame and a premature stop codon and a 3 bp deletion (c.1141_1143delCTC) producing an in-frame deletion of 1 amino acid. CONCLUSION: The congenital recto-vaginal fistula is a rare type of anorectal malformation that, to our knowledge, has not been reported in patients with a COG6 defect nor in patients with other COG defects. This study broadens COG6-CDG genetic landscape and spectrum of malformations.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) is a group of rare, hereditary, multisystem disorders, predominantly affecting nervous system. There are N- and O- types of glycosylation. Fucosylation, a form of N-glycosylation, involves many enzymes. Until today, type 1 and type 2 fucosylation defects were identified, having pathogenic variants in genes encoding α-1,6-fucosyltransferase and fucokinase enzymes, respectively. In this article, a patient with type 2 fucosylation defect will be presented, with hypotonia, developmental delay and blindness and a pathogenic variant that was previously described in two patients. METHOD: Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed, since the patient had no time to implement diagnostic algorithm for hypotonia etiology. RESULTS: WES revealed a new pathogenic variant of homozygous c.993_1011del (p.Glu335Hisfs*55) frameshift variant of the FUK gene NM_145059 transcript. She had milder clinical manifestation than reported two patients. CONCLUSION: Congenital Defect of Glycosylation should be considered when the clinical findings cannot be explained by other known diseases, particularly in patients with multisystemic, predominantly neurological involvement.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are rare inherited metabolic disorders associated with facial dysmorphism and in the majority of the patients, there is an important neurological impairment. Epilepsy was a main concern in rare forms of the disease. There are two groups of the disease: CDG-I results from the defects in glycan addition to the N-terminal and CDG-II occurs due to defects in the processing of protein bound glycans. SLC35A2-CDG is a rare form of CDG caused by mutations in the X-linked gene that encodes a UDP-Galactose transporter. The manifestations of the disease include seizures, failure to thrive, delayed myelination, and cerebral atrophy. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe herein a severe female child with intractable seizures, microcephaly, growth retardation, hypotonia, global developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, skeletal findings, cerebral/cerebellar atrophy, and thin corpus callosum, and a mildly affected male carrying a novel variant with seizures and mild global developmental delay who were found by whole exome sequencing (WES) for SLC35A2 mutations previously not reported. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings expand the number of reported cases and add novel variants to the repertoire of SLC35A2-CDG.

RESUMO

The pathophysiology of congenital defects of glycosylation (CDG) is complex and the diagnosis has been a challenge because of the overlapping clinical signs and symptoms as well as a large number of disorders. Isoelectric focusing of transferrin has been used as a screening method but has limitations. Individual enzyme or molecular genetic tests have been difficult to perform. In this study, we aimed to describe CDG patients who were referred to from different departments either without a preliminary diagnosis or suspected to have a genetic disorder other than CDG. The patients were diagnosed mainly with a 450 gene next-generation DNA sequencing panel for inborn errors of metabolism, which also included 25 genes for CDG. A total of 862 patients were investigated with the panel, whereby homozygous (10) or compound heterozygous (4) mutations were found in a total of 14 (1.6%) patients. A total of 13 different mutations were discovered, 10 of them being novel. Interestingly, none of the patients was suspected to have a CDG before referral. This report expands the clinical/laboratory findings in patients with CDG and stresses on the fact that CDG should be in the differential list for pediatric patients presented with nonspecific dysmorphic features and neurological delays/regression. Also, next-generation DNA sequencing with panel approach was noticed to have a significant diagnostic potential in patients presented with nonspecific neurologic and dysmorphic findings.

BACKGROUND: In Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG) type Ia, homozygous mutations of the PMM2 gene cause phosphomannomutase 2 dysfunction. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, a 10-month-old girl, is presented with severe hypotonia, along with inappropriately normal mental status and normal facies. High 2-ketoglutaric acid was detected in her urine, therefore, the diagnosis of 2-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KDHC) deficiency was made for this patient. A high dose of vitamin B1 was administered because thiamine is considered a co-factor in this inborn error of metabolism. She responded very well to the daily administration of 500 mg/day vitamin B1 and stood up without help 5 months later. She had also experienced a seizure, which responded well to pyridoxine. Then, she grew up into a 3.5-years-old child who could talk and walk normally. Recently, whole-exome sequencing was performed for her, which showed homozygote mutation of PMM2, therefore, the diagnosis was changed from KDHC deficiency to PMM2-CDG. CONCLUSION: Paying attention to the pathophysiology of inborn errors of metabolism is necessary while considering the defective enzyme co-factor, which may help us to find an option for the treatment of such rare diseases.

RESUMO

Pathogenic variants in Steroid 5 alpha reductase type 3 (SRD5A3) cause rare inherited congenital disorder of glycosylation known as SRD5A3-CDG (MIM# 612379). To date, 43 affected individuals have been reported. Despite the development of various dysmorphic features in significant number of patients, facial recognition entity has not yet been established for SRD5A3-CDG. Herein, we reported a novel SRD5A3 missense pathogenic variant c.460 T > C p.(Ser154Pro). The 3D structural modeling of the SRD5A3 protein revealed additional transmembrane α-helices and predicted that the p.(Ser154Pro) variant is located in a potential active site and is capable of reducing its catalytic efficiency. Based on phenotypes of our patients and all published SRD5A3-CDG cases, we identified the most common clinical features as well as some recurrent dysmorphic features such as arched eyebrows, wide eyes, shallow nasal bridge, short nose, and large mouth. Based on facial digital 2D images, we successfully designed and validated a SRD5A3-CDG computer based dysmorphic facial analysis, which achieved 92.5% accuracy. The current work integrates genotypic, 3D structural modeling and phenotypic characteristics of CDG-SRD5A3 cases with the successful development of computer tool for accurate facial recognition of CDG-SRD5A3 complex cases to assist in the diagnosis of this particular disorder globally.

RESUMO

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are an expanding group of metabolic disorders that result from abnormal protein glycosylation. A special subgroup of CDG type II comprises defects in the Conserved Oligomeric Golgi Complex (COG). In order to further delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of COG complex defect, we describe a novel variant of COG6 gene found in homozygosity in a Moroccan patient with severe presentation of COG6-CDG (OMIM #614576). We compared the phenotype of our patient with other previously reported COG6-CDG cases. Common features in COG6-CDG are facial dysmorphism, growth retardation, microcephaly, developmental disability, liver or gastrointestinal disease, recurrent infections, hypohidrosis/hyperthermia. In addition to these phenotypic features, our patient exhibited a disorder of sexual differentiation, which has rarely been reported in COG6-CDG. We hypothesize that the severe COG6 gene mutation interferes with glycosylation of a disintegrin and metalloprotease family members, inhibiting the correct gonadal distal tip cells migration, fundamental for the genitalia morphogenesis. This report broadens the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of COG6-CDG and provides further supportive evidence that COG6-CDG can present as a disorder of sexual differentiation.

RESUMO

Congenital glycosylation disorders (CDG) are inherited metabolic diseases due to defective glycoprotein and glycolipid glycan assembly and attachment. MOGS-CDG is a rare disorder with seven patients from five families reported worldwide. We report on a 19-year-old girl with MOGS-CDG. At birth she presented facial dysmorphism, marked hypotonia, and drug-resistant tonic seizures. In the following months, her motility was strongly limited by dystonia, with forced posture of the head and of both hands. She showed a peculiar hyperkinetic movement disorder with a rhythmic and repetitive pattern repeatedly documented on EEG-polygraphy recordings. Brain MRI showed progressive cortical and subcortical atrophy. Epileptic spasms appeared in first months and ceased by the age of 7 years, while tonic seizures were still present at last assessment (19 years). We report the oldest-known MOGS-CDG patient and broaden the neurological phenotype of this CDG.
