Results of application of the ISPD guidelines to the management of peritoneal dialysis in a single center in Sudan

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017
Summary: The culture negative peritonitis in Sudan 2010 was 46% exceeding 20% of the recommended ISPD (International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis) guidelines. This study reports an update after applying the standard ISPD protocol.

Human ISPD Is a Cytidyltransferase Required for Dystroglycan O-Mannosylation. [PDF]

Chemistry & Biology, 2015
A unique, unsolved O-mannosyl glycan on α-dystroglycan is essential for its interaction with protein ligands in the extracellular matrix. Defective O-mannosylation leads to a group of muscular dystrophies, called dystroglycanopathies.

ISPD produces CDP-ribitol used by FKTN and FKRP to transfer ribitol phosphate onto α-dystroglycan

Nature Communications, 2016
Mutations in genes required for the glycosylation of α-dystroglycan lead to dystroglycanopathies. Here, the authors show that three of these enzymes (ISPD, FKTN and FKRP) work together to attach ribitol phosphate to α-dystroglycan.

CDP-ribitol prodrug treatment ameliorates ISPD-deficient muscular dystrophy mouse model

Nature Communications, 2022
Ribitol-phospate modification is essential for the function of α-dystroglycan, and mutations in ISPD, an enzyme that synthesizes the the ribitol-phosphate donor CDP-ribitol, cause muscular dystrophy.
