Clinical and molecular findings in three Japanese patients with N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase-congenital disorder of glycosylation (NANS-CDG).

ABSTRACT: We report clinical and molecular findings in three Japanese patients with N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase-congenital disorder of glycosylation (NANS-CDG). Patient 1 exhibited a unique constellation of clinical features including marked hydrocephalus, spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD), and thrombocytopenia which is comparable to that of an infant reported by Faye-Peterson et al., whereas patients 2 and 3 showed Camera-Genevieve type SMED with intellectual/developmental disability which is currently known as the sole disease name for NANS-CDG. Molecular studies revealed a maternally inherited likely pathogenic c.207del:p.(Arg69Serfs*57) variant and a paternally derived likely pathogenic c.979_981dup:p.(Ile327dup) variant in patient 1, a homozygous likely pathogenic c.979_981dup:p.(I
