NGLY1 Deficiency: A Rare Newly Described Condition with a Typical Presentation.

ABSTRACT: NGLY1 deficiency is the first recognized autosomal recessive disorder of N-linked deglycosylation (NGLY1-CDDG). This severe multisystemic disease is still poorly known and, to date, most cases have been diagnosed through whole exome or genome sequencing. The aim of this study is to provide the clinical, biochemical and molecular description of the first NGLY1-CDDG patient from France along with a literature review. The index case presented with developmental delay, acquired microcephaly, hypotonia, alacrimia, feeding difficulty, and dysmorphic features. Given the complex clinical picture and the multisystemic involvement, a trio-based exome sequencing was conducted and urine oligosaccharides were assessed using mass spectrometry. The exome sequencing revealed a novel variant in the NGLY
