Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in PMM2 impair phosphomannomutase-2 activity and cause the most frequent congenital disorder of glycosylation, PMM2-CDG. Mannose-1-phosphate, that is deficient in this disorder, is also implicated in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidyl inositol (GPI) anchors. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether GPI-anchor and GPI-anchored proteins are defective in PMM2-CDG patients. METHODS: The expression...
