Diseases of ganglioside biosynthesis: An expanding group of congenital disorders of glycosylation.

Abstract excerpt

Among the numerous congenital disorders of glycosylation concerning glycoproteins, only a single mutation in ganglioside biosynthesis had been reported until a few years ago: one in the ST3GAL5 gene, encoding GM3 synthase. More recently, additional mutations in the same gene were reported, together with several distinct mutations in the B4GALNT1 gene, encoding GM2/GD2/GA2 synthase. Patients suffering from ST3GAL5...
