Abstract excerpt
Congenital disorders of glycosylation type Ia, (previous name carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type Ia; CDG-Ia) is an inherited disorder of the glycosylation of certain glycoproteins. The defect is caused by mutations in the phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2) gene located in chromosome region 16p13. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to investigate the possible correlation between certain genotypes...
