Atrial septal defect in a patient with congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a: a case report
Background Atrial septal defect often become more severe when encountered in genetic syndromes. Congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a is an inherited metabolic disorder associated with mutations in PMM2 gene and can affect almost all organs ...

PMM2‐CDG caused by uniparental disomy: Case report and literature review
Background Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2‐CDG) affects glycosylation pathways such as the N‐glycosylation pathway, resulting in loss of function of multiple proteins.

Intellectual disability, coarse face, relative macrocephaly, and cerebellar hypotrophy in two sisters [PDF]
We report on two Portuguese sisters with a very similar phenotype characterized by severe intellectual disability, absent speech, relative macrocephaly, coarse face, cerebellar hypotrophy, and severe ataxia.

PslE is essential for the ability of S. aureus‐derived extracellular vesicles to enhance P. aeruginosa pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Coinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is frequently observed. Our previous study demonstrated that S. aureus‐derived extracellular vesicles (SaEVs) promote P.

Beneficial effects of Glc-1,6-P2 modulation on mutant phosphomannomutase-2
The metabolite Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-1,6-P2) plays a vital role in human metabolism, and is a crucial activator and stabilizer for phosphomannomutase-2 (PMM2) - mutations within this protein propagate the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG).

Biosynthesis of GDP-fucose and other sugar nucleotides in the blood-stages of Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
Carbohydrate structures play important roles in many biological processes, including cell adhesion, cell-cell communication, and host-pathogen interactions. Sugar nucleotides are activated forms of sugars used by the cell as donors for most glycosylation

Identification of genomic regions associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces root rot in pea
Abstract Root rot caused by Aphanomyces euteiches is a major concern in pea (Pisum sativum L.). The lack of other effective control strategies makes crucial the development of resistant varieties. Although partial resistance has been reported, its quantitative inheritance, the association of resistance‐linked genomic regions with unfavorable agronomic ...

Stroke-Like Episodes in PMM2-CDG: When the Lack of Other Evidence Is the Only Evidence
Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG) is the most frequent congenital disorder of glycosylation. PMM2-CDG patients develop chronic cerebellar atrophy as a neurological hallmark.

A transposon insertion sequencing approach revealed that the novel phage ΦXhv‐1 targets Xanthomonas hortorum pv. vitians through LPS O‐antigen recognition. Mutations in LPS conferring phage resistance reduce bacterial motility and virulence, highlighting a trade‐off that may naturally constrain resistance development and support the sustainable phage ...
