Abstract excerpt
Congenital disorders of glycosylation are a significant underlying cause of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). A subset of these DEE cases results from biallelic variants in the unique, essential gene encoding UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH). The UGDH enzyme catalyzes two successive NAD+- dependent oxidation reactions to convert the C6 hydroxyl of UDP-glucose to a carboxylate, generating the...
