Abstract excerpt
We report a new fibroblast and lymphoblast based protein O-mannosyl beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 enzymatic assay, which allows rapid and accurate diagnosis of carriers and patients with muscle-eye-brain type of congenital muscular dystrophy. Seven patients with genetically confirmed muscle-eye-brain disease were assayed for protein O-mannosyl beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 enzyme...
