Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor deficiencies are a new subclass of congenital disorders of glycosylation. About 26 genes are involved in the GPI-anchor biosynthesis and remodeling pathway, of which mutations in thirteen have been reported to date as causative of a diverse spectrum of intellectual disabilities. Since the clinical phenotype of these disorders varies and the number of described...
