Dystroglycanopathies: Genetic Bases of Muscular Dystrophies Due to Alteration in the O-Glycosylation of α-Dystroglycan [PDF]
Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are inherited, progressive and heterogeneous muscle disorders. A group of CMDs are dystroglycanopathies, also called α-dystroglycanopathies, where there is an abnormal glycosylation of protein α-dystroglycan ...

Background Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a growing group of rare genetic disorders. The most common CDG is phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2)-CDG which often has a severe clinical presentation and life-limiting consequences.

Autosomal Recessive Dilated Cardiomyopathy due to DOLK Mutations Results from Abnormal Dystroglycan O-Mannosylation [PDF]
Genetic causes for autosomal recessive forms of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are only rarely identified, although they are thought to contribute considerably to sudden cardiac death and heart failure, especially in young children.

Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation: A Review [PDF]
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a rapidly growing group of inherited disorders caused by defects in the synthesis and processing of the asparagine(ASN)-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins. The first CDG patients were described in 1980. Fifteen years later, a phosphomannomutase deficiency was found as the basis of the most frequent

Getting Sugar Coating Right! The Role of the Golgi Trafficking Machinery in Glycosylation
The Golgi is the central organelle of the secretory pathway and it houses the majority of the glycosylation machinery, which includes glycosylation enzymes and sugar transporters. Correct compartmentalization of the glycosylation machinery is achieved by

Epileptic spasms in congenital disorders of glycosylation [PDF]
AbstractAim. Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare metabolic diseases, characterized by impaired glycosylation. Multisystemic involvement is common and neurological impairment is notably severe and disabling, concerning the central and peripheral nervous system. Epilepsy is frequent, but detailed electroclinical description is

SRD5A3 is required for converting polyprenol to dolichol and is mutated in a congenital glycosylation disorder. [PDF]
N-linked glycosylation is the most frequent modification of secreted and membrane-bound proteins in eukaryotic cells, disruption of which is the basis of the congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs).
