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.
Type I CDGs comprise defects in the assembly of the dolichol lipid-linked oligosaccharide
(LLO) chain and its transfer to the nascent protein. These disorders can be identified
by a characteristic abnormal isoelectric focusing profile of plasma transferrin (Leroy,
2006). For a discussion of the classification of CDGs, see CDG1A (212065).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the RFT1 homolog gene (RFT1, 611908.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Type I pattern of serum sialotransferrins; Accumulation of the incomplete oligosaccharide Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-PP-dolichol;
