Abstract:BackgroundFCSK‐congenital disorder of glycosylation (FCSK‐CDG) is a recently discovered rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder with defective fucosylation due to mutations in the fucokinase encoding gene, FCSK. Despite the essential role of fucokinase in the fucose salvage pathway and severe multisystem manifestations of FCSK‐CDG patients, it is not elucidated which cells or which types of fucosylation are affected by its deficiency.MethodsIn this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was employed to construct an FCSK‐CDG cel… Show more
