[Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency]. [PDF]
Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency is the most common form of N-glycosylation disorders and is also known as phosphomannomutase 2-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG). It is an autosomal recessive disease with multi-system involvements and is caused by mutations in the PMM2 gene (OMIM: 601785), with varying severities in individuals. At present,

Computational Investigation of Smooth Muscle Cell Plasticity in Atherosclerosis and Vascular Calcification: Insights from Differential Gene Expression Analysis of Microarray Data [PDF]
The dedifferentiation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is the main cause of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. This study integrated the gene expression data of multiple microarrays to identify relevant marker molecules.

Suspected Central Adrenal Insufficiency in a Patient with Phosphomannomutase 2-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation. [PDF]
Abstract Phosphomannomutase 2–congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG) is a hereditary defect causing hypoglycosylation of N-linked glycoproteins. It was recently suggested that patients with PMM2-CDG may have central adrenal insufficiency.

Evaluation of Cell Models to Study Monocyte Functions in PMM2 Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are inherited metabolic diseases characterized by mutations in enzymes involved in different steps of protein glycosylation, leading to aberrant synthesis, attachment or processing of glycans.

Metabolic Deregulation in Pulmonary Hypertension
The high morbidity and mortality rate of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is partially explained by metabolic deregulation. The present study complements our previous publication in “Genes” by identifying significant increases of the glucose ...

Polycystic Kidney Disease with Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia Caused by a Promoter Mutation in Phosphomannomutase 2. [PDF]
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HI) and congenital polycystic kidney disease (PKD) are rare, genetically heterogeneous disorders. The co-occurrence of these disorders (HIPKD) in 17 children from 11 unrelated families suggested an unrecognized genetic disorder.

Targeted disruption of the mouse phosphomannomutase 2 gene causes early embryonic lethality. [PDF]
Mutations in the cytosolic enzyme phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2), which catalyzes the conversion of mannose-6-phosphate to mannose-1-phosphate, cause the most common form of congenital disorders of glycosylation, termed CDG-Ia. It is an inherited multisystemic disease with severe neurological impairment.

Hypoglycemia in CDG patients due to PMM2 mutations: Follow up on hyperinsulinemic patients
Background Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2‐CDG) is the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG). Hypoglycemia has been reported in various CDG including PMM2‐CDG.

Mannose supplementation in PMM2-CDG
In this response to the letter by Witters et al., we refer to the authors' arguments regarding spontaneous enhancement of glycosylation and the claim, that mannose has no place in the treatment of PMM2-CDG.
