Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) result from mutations in N-glycan biosynthesis. Mutations in phosphomannomutase (PMM2) cause CDG-Ia. Here, we report four clinically mild patients and their mutations in PMM2. METHODS: Analysis of the PMM2 cDNA and gene revealed the mutations affecting the glycosylation efficiency. RESULTS: The patients have 30% to 50% normal PMM activity in fibroblasts due to...
