DPAGT1-CDG: Report of Two New Pediatric Patients and Brief Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Congenital glycosylation disorders are multisystem diseases with heterogeneous clinical manifestations caused by defects in the synthesis of the glycan moiety of glycoproteins or glycolipids or the binding of glycans to proteins and lipids. DPAGT1 (UDP-GlcNAc: dolichol phosphate N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase) is an initiating protein in the biosynthetic pathway of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides required for protein N-glycosylation. Pathogenic variants in DPAGT1 (UDP-GlcNAc: dolichol phosphate N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase) gene cause a rare type of congenital glycosylation disorder called DPAGT1-CDG (formerly CDG-Ij) (OMIM #608093). It is a rare autosomal recessive disease or a milder version with congenital myasthenic syndrome known as D
