PMM2-CDG and nephrotic syndrome: A case report. [PDF]
CDG are a group of diseases altering the glycosylation process. Enzymes involved have ubiquitous distribution with systemic involvement and high phenotypic variability. We report the case of a girl with central hypotonia, epilepsy and severe psychomotor delay diagnosed with phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG) after presenting with nephrotic ...

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in PMM2-CDG. [PDF]
PMM2-CDG is a rare disease, causing hypoglycosylation of multiple proteins, hence preventing full functionality. So far, no direct genotype–phenotype correlations have been identified. We carried out a retrospective cohort study on 26 PMM2-CDG patients.

Platelet Membrane Glycoprofiling in a PMM2-CDG Patient [PDF]
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are metabolic hereditary diseases caused by defects in the synthesis of glycoconjugates. CDG have been described in sugar-nucleotide biosynthesis and transporter, glycosyltransferases, vesicular transport, as ...

Patient reported outcomes for phosphomannomutase 2 congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG): listening to what matters for the patients and health professionals [PDF]
Background Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a growing group of rare genetic disorders. The most common CDG is phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2)-CDG which often has a severe clinical presentation and life-limiting consequences.

Interplay of Impaired Cellular Bioenergetics and Autophagy in PMM2-CDG. [PDF]
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) and mitochondrial disorders are multisystem disorders with overlapping symptomatology. Pathogenic variants in the PMM2 gene lead to abnormal N-linked glycosylation. This disruption in glycosylation can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress, contributing to the disease pathology.

Sorbitol Is a Severity Biomarker for PMM2-CDG with Therapeutic Implications. [PDF]
ObjectiveEpalrestat, an aldose reductase inhibitor increases phosphomannomutase (PMM) enzyme activity in a PMM2‐congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) worm model. Epalrestat also decreases sorbitol level in diabetic neuropathy. We evaluated the genetic, biochemical, and clinical characteristics, including the Nijmegen Progression CDG Rating Scale (

Immunopathology in PMM2-CDG: Defective glycosylation impact in the TNFα -TNFR1 signalling pathway [PDF]
IntroductionGlycosylation is a post-translational modification that plays a crucial role in immune system activity. Phosphomannomutase 2-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (PMM2-CDG) is a rare genetic disease affecting glycosylation with a multi ...

D-galactose supplementation in individuals with PMM2-CDG: results of a multicenter, open label, prospective pilot clinical trial [PDF]
PMM2-CDG is the most prevalent congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) with only symptomatic therapy. Some CDG have been successfully treated with D-galactose. We performed an open-label pilot trial with D-galactose in 9 PMM2-CDG patients.

New and potential strategies for the treatment of PMM2-CDG
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 ...
