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 (see, e.g., CDG1A, 212065) comprise
defects in the assembly of the dolichol lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) chain and
its transfer to the nascent protein, whereas type II CDGs refer to defects in the
trimming and processing of the protein-bound glycans either late in the endoplasmic
reticulum or the Golgi compartments. The biochemical changes of CDGs are most readily
observed in serum transferrin (TF; 190000), and the diagnosis is usually made by isoelectric
focusing of this glycoprotein (reviews by Marquardt and Denecke, 2003; Grunewald et
al., 2002). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type II
Multiple forms of CDG type II have been identified; see CDG2B (606056) through CDG2M
(300896).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the mannosyl (alpha-1,6-)-glycoprotein beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
gene (MGAT2, 602616.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : GlcNAc-transferase II deficiency in fibroblast and mononuclear cells; Abnormal isoelectric focusing of serum transferrin (type 2 pattern);
