Abstract excerpt
Recent years have seen great advances in our knowledge of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), a clinically and biochemically heterogeneous group of genetic diseases caused by defects in the synthesis (CDG-I) or processing (CDG-II) of glycans that form glycoconjugates. This paper reports a new subtype of non-neurological CDG involving the impaired cytoplasmic biosynthesis of nucleotide sugars needed for...
