Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type ik - CISMeF
Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type ikOMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type ik;
Symbol : CDG1K;
CISMeF acronym : CDG1K;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Cdg ik; CDGIk;
Description : Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) comprise a group of multisystem diseases
with mostly severe psychomotor and mental retardation. Type I CDG comprises those
disorders in which there are defects that affect biosynthesis of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides
in the cytosol or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as well as defects involving the
transfer of oligosaccharides onto nascent glycoproteins. Type II CDG comprises all
defects of further trimming and elongation of N-linked oligosaccharides in the ER
and Golgi (Schwarz et al., 2004). For a general discussion of CDGs, see CDG1A (212065).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the beta-1,4-mannosyltransferase gene (ALG1, 605907.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Isoelectric focusing of serum transferrin consistent with CDG type I; Severely decreased activity of beta-1,4-mannosyltransferase (less than 10% of normal);
