Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in PIGG (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class G) disrupt glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring of cell-surface proteins. Recently, biallelic PIGG variants have been linked to motor neuropathy with conduction block and temporal dispersion, suggesting a role for defective GPI anchoring in peripheral nerve function. We describe a 27-year-old woman carrying a homozygous...
