Two Argentinean Siblings with CDG-Ix: A Novel Type of Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation?

Abstract: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are genetic diseases caused by abnormal protein and lipid glycosylation. In this chapter, we report the clinical, biochemical, and molecular findings in two siblings with an unidentified CDG (CDG-Ix). They are the first and the third child of healthy consanguineous Argentinean parents. Patient 1 is now a 11-year-old girl, and patient 2 died at the age of 4 months. Their clinical picture involved liver dysfunction in the neonatal period, psychomotor retardation, micro… Show more

“…CDG screening was applied in all suspected patients referred by pediatricians to the Center for the Study of Con genital Metabolopathie s (CEMECO) at t he Children's Hospital in Córdoba. Suspected patients presented a multisystem phenotype and the main clinical manifestations were mild to severe psychomotor disability, hypotonia, seizures, failure to thrive, hormonal anomalies, coagulopathy, and cerebellar hypoplasia [12,24]. Ethical permissions and informed consents were obtained from the institutional review boards of CIEIS-Ethics Committee, Children's Hospital of Córdoba, Argentina.…”

“…Seizures began later, at the age of 18 months, and consisted of tonic and tonic-clonic seizures, as well as sudden massive jerks, presenting as a combination of myoclonus and spasm. So far, 25 patients with CDG Ix have been described (Morava et al, 2008, Millón et al, 2011, presenting very heterogeneous clinical features. Epilepsy is reported in seven of them, but seizure types and EEG features are not detailed.…”
