Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG): Quo vadis?
The survey summarizes in its first part the current status of knowledge on the Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) with regard to their phenotypic spectrum, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and pathophysiology. It documents the clinical and basic research activities, and efforts to involve patients and their families.

Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

L-Fucose treatment of FUT8-CDG
FUT8-CDG is a severe multisystem disorder caused by mutations in FUT8, encoding the α-1,6-fucosyltransferase. We report on dizygotic twins with FUT8-CDG presenting with dysmorphisms, failure to thrive, and respiratory abnormalities.

Advances in the genetics of refractive errors: Contributions from the CREAM consortium
Abstract The Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia (CREAM) was established in 2011, bringing together an international team of researchers studying more than 30 cohorts. Since its establishment, CREAM has played a pivotal role in research investigating the genetics of myopia and other refractive errors, serving as a key driver of progress in the ...

Diseases of glycosylation beyond classical congenital disorders of glycosylation [PDF]
Diseases of glycosylation are rare inherited disorders, which are often referred to as congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). Several types of CDG have been described in the last decades, encompassing defects of nucleotide-sugar biosynthesis, nucleotide-sugar transporters, glycosyltransferases and vesicular transport.

Bleeding Disorders in Children With Genetic Diseases: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Aim The lack of data on bleeding risk assessment in children with genetic diseases is concerning given their increased care needs and risk of haemorrhagic complications compared to the general population. Identification of haemostatic disorders is crucial for implementing preventive measures and mitigating bleeding risk.

Hyperkinetic movement disorders in congenital disorders of glycosylation
Background and purposeCongenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) represent an increasing number of rare inherited metabolic diseases associated with abnormal glycan metabolism and disease onset in infancy or early childhood. Most CDG are multisystemic diseases mainly affecting the central nervous system. The aim of the current study was to investigate

This study investigates four Chinese families with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA). Through next‐generation sequencing, we identified seven NTRK1 variants, including two novel mutations. Functional characterization of five identified missense and indel variants revealed distinct disruptions in the NGF‐TrkA pathway, ranging from ...

Substrate for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Biochemistry, Evolution, and Physiology
Two proposed sequence of events for thyroxine formation in patients expressing mutant thyroglobulin. (A) (1) TSH stimulation drives expression of misfolded TG. (2) Unremitting ER stress. (3) Stress‐induced cell death. (4) Dead thyrocytes release their contents. (5) The contents become iodinated. (6) Forming thyroxine.
