New and potential strategies for the treatment of PMM2-CDG [PDF]
Mutations in the PMM2 gene cause phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2; MIM# 212065), which manifests as a congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG). Mutant PMM2 leads to the reduced conversion of Man-6-P to Man-1-P, which results in low concentrations of guanosine 5'-diphospho-D-mannose, a nucleotide-activated sugar essential for the ...

Abnormal fat distribution in PMM2-CDG [PDF]
We hypothesize that abnormal fat distribution, a common feature of PMM2-CDG, is associated with abnormal perinatal hormone regulation. We assessed 32 cases with PMM2-CDG, for the comorbidity of hypoglycemia/hyperinsulinism and fat pads. Ninety percent of patients with hypoketotic hypoglycemia and/or hyperinsulinism had abnormal fat distribution, while ...

Patient-reported outcomes and quality of life in PMM2-CDG
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) measure important aspects of disease burden, however they have received limited attention in the care of patients with Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG). We evaluated the PROs and correlation between clinical disease severity scoring and reported quality of life (QoL) in a PMM2-CDG patient cohort.

PMM2-CDG (PMM2 gene mutations) is the most common congenital disorder of N-glycosylation. We conducted a nationwide survey to characterize the frequency, clinical features, glycosylation and genetic correlates in Italian patients with PMM2-CDG.

Proteomic analysis of platelet N-glycoproteins in PMM2-CDG patients
Thrombosis Research, 2014PMM2-CDG, the most frequent congenital disorder of N-glycosylation, is an autosomal recessive disease with a multisystem presentation. PMM2-CDG patients show an increased risk for thrombosis, which might be in part due to spontaneous platelet aggregations as previously described.

Sensitivity of transferrin isoform analysis for PMM2-CDG
Molecular Genetics and MetabolismTransferrin isoform analysis is an established laboratory test for congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). Despite its long history of clinical use, little has been published about its empirical sensitivity for specific conditions. We conducted a retrospective analysis of ten years of testing data and report our experience with transferrin testing

Expression analysis revealing destabilizing mutations in phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2‐CDG)
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2011AbstractDeficiency of phosphomannomutase (PMM2, MIM#601785) is the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation. Herein we report the genetic analysis of 22 Spanish PMM2 deficient patients and the functional analysis of 14 nucleotide changes in a prokaryotic expression system in order to elucidate their molecular pathogenesis.

From gestalt to gene: early predictive dysmorphic features of PMM2-CDG
Journal of Medical Genetics, 2018Introduction Phosphomannomutase-2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG) is associated with a recognisable facial pattern. There are no early severity predictors for this disorder and no phenotype–genotype correlation. We performed a detailed dysmorphology evaluation to describe facial gestalt and its changes over time, to train ...

Clinical Assessment of Dysarthria in Children with Cerebellar Syndrome Associated with PMM2-CDG
Neuropediatrics, 2018Phosphomannomutase deficiency (PMM2-CDG) causes a cerebellar syndrome that has been evaluated using the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS). However, no particular dysarthria tests have been used. Speech ICARS subscore subjectively assesses fluency and clarity of speech with two items.
