Abstract excerpt
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a rapidly enlarging group of inherited diseases with abnormal N-glycosylation of glycoconjugates. Most patients have CDG-Ia, which is due to a phosphomannomutase (PMM) deficiency. In this article, we report that a significant portion (9 of 54) of patients with CDG-Ia had a rather high residual PMM activity in fibroblasts included in the normal range (means of the...
