Description : Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a genetically heterogeneous group
of autosomal recessive disorders caused by enzymatic defects in the synthesis and
processing of asparagine (N)-linked glycans or oligosaccharides on glycoproteins.
These glycoconjugates play critical roles in metabolism, cell recognition and adhesion,
cell migration, protease resistance, host defense, and antigenicity, among others.
CDGs are divided into 2 main groups: type I CDGs comprise defects in the assembly
of the dolichol lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) chain and its transfer to the nascent
protein, whereas type II CDGs (see, e.g., CDG2A, 212066) refer to defects in the trimming
and processing of the protein-bound glycans either late in the endoplasmic reticulum
or the Golgi compartments. CDG1A is the most common form of CDG and was the first
to be characterized at the molecular level (reviews by Marquardt and Denecke, 2003;
Grunewald et al., 2002). Matthijs et al. (1997) noted that Jaeken syndrome (CDG1A)
is a genetic multisystem disorder characterized by defective glycosylation of glycoconjugates.
It usually presents as a severe disorder in the neonatal period. There is a severe
encephalopathy with axial hypotonia, abnormal eye movement, and pronounced psychomotor
retardation, as well as peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar hypoplasia, and retinitis
pigmentosa. Patients show a peculiar distribution of subcutaneous fat, nipple retraction,
and hypogonadism. There is a 20% lethality in the first year of life due to severe
infections, liver insufficiency, or cardiomyopathy. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Congenital
Disorder of Glycosylation Type I Multiple forms of CDG type I have been identified;
