Bleeding Disorders in Children With Genetic Diseases: A Narrative Review. [PDF]
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.

Organoids for Metabolic Disease Modeling. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are a diverse group of rare genetic disorders that disrupt metabolic pathways, leading to severe clinical manifestations. Disease models ranging from complex animal models to simple in vitro systems have provided insights into IMDs, but each has limitations.

Expert-Designed Fact Sheets and AI-Based Analysis of Patient Symptoms to Combat Diagnostic Delays in Inherited Metabolic Diseases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The importance of early diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) is well known, as it allows early intervention to prevent or reduce complications and improve prognosis, since many of these disorders are treatable. However, diagnosis can still be delayed, and many patients remain undiagnosed. Reducing diagnosis delays is a primary goal

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.

Treatment of Single Patient With PMM2-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation With Govorestat (AT-007), an Aldose Reductase Inhibitor. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aldose reductase inhibitors (ARI) have been identified as a potential treatment for phosphomannomutase‐2 congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2‐CDG), a serious condition for which no treatments are approved. We treated a single patient for 36 months 30 months of age at enrollment, under a single‐patient investigational new drug expanded ...

PMM2‐CDG and nephrotic syndrome: A case report
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare metabolic diseases, characterized by a defect in the protein glycosylation process. Enzymes involved in this metabolic mechanism have ubiquitous distribution; thus, their alteration can ...

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.

Anthropometric Phenotype of Patients with PMM2-CDG
Background: Growth failure is commonly reported in children with PMM2-CDG. The aim of the study was to delineate the longitudinal anthropometric phenotype of patients with PMM2-CDG and attempt to find some correlations between the genotype and ...
