ALG13-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (ALG13-CDG): Updated clinical and molecular review and clinical management guidelines. Mol Genet Metab 2024; 142:108472. [PMID: 38703411 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2024.108472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
ALG13-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG), is a rare X-linked CDG caused by pathogenic variants in ALG13 (OMIM 300776) that affects the N-linked glycosylation pathway. Affected individuals present with a predominantly neurological manifestation during infancy. Epileptic spasms are a common presenting symptom of ALG13-CDG. Other common phenotypes include developmental delay, seizures, intellectual disability, microcephaly, and hypotonia. Current management of ALG13-CDG is targeted to address patients' symptoms. To date, less than 100 individuals have been reported with ALG13-CDG. In this article, an international group of experts in CDG reviewed all reported individuals affected with ALG13-CDG and suggested diagnostic and management guidelines for ALG13-CDG. The guidelines are based on the best available data and expert opinion. Neurological symptoms dominate the phenotype of ALG13-CDG where epileptic spasm is confirmed to be the most common presenting symptom of ALG13-CDG in association with hypotonia and developmental delay. We propose that ACTH/prednisolone treatment should be trialed first, followed by vigabatrin, however ketogenic diet has been shown to have promising results in ALG13-CDG. In order to optimize medical management, we also suggest early cardiac, gastrointestinal, skeletal, and behavioral assessments in affected patients.

Single-center experience of congenital disorders of glycosylation syndrome screening in Tunisia: A retrospective study over a 15-year period (2007-2021). Arch Pediatr 2024; 31:124-128. [PMID: 38262859 DOI: 10.1016/j.arcped.2023.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the results gathered over 15 years of screening for congenital disorders of glycosylation syndrome (CDGS) in Tunisia according to clinical and biochemical characteristics. METHODS Our laboratory received 1055 analysis requests from various departments and hospitals, for children with a clinical suspicion of CDGS. The screening was carried out through separation of transferrin isoforms by capillary zone electrophoresis. RESULTS During the 15-year period, 23 patients were diagnosed with CDGS (19 patients with CDG-Ia, three patients with CDG-IIx, and one patient with CDG-X). These patients included 13 boys and 10 girls aged between 3 months and 13 years, comprising 2.18 % of the total 1055 patients screened. The incidence for CDGS was estimated to be 1:23,720 live births (4.21 per 100,000) in Tunisia. The main clinical symptoms related to clinical disease state in newborn and younger patients were psychomotor retardation (91 %), cerebellar atrophy (91 %), ataxia (61 %), strabismus (48 %), dysmorphic symptoms (52 %), retinitis pigmentosa, cataract (35 %), hypotonia (30 %), and other symptoms. CONCLUSION In Tunisia, CDGS still remains underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The resemblance to other diseases, especially neurological disorders, and physicians' unawareness of the existence of these diseases are the main reasons for the underdiagnosis. In routine diagnostics, the screening for CDGS by biochemical tests is mandatory to complete the clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive chronic disease that remains a primary cause of death worldwide, affecting over 64 million patients. HF can be caused by cardiomyopathies and congenital cardiac defects with monogenic etiology. The number of genes and monogenic disorders linked to development of cardiac defects is constantly growing and includes inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Several IMDs affecting various metabolic pathways have been reported presenting cardiomyopathies and cardiac defects. Considering the pivotal role of sugar metabolism in cardiac tissue, including energy production, nucleic acid synthesis and glycosylation, it is not surprising that an increasing number of IMDs linked to carbohydrate metabolism are described with cardiac manifestations. In this systematic review, we offer a comprehensive overview of IMDs linked to carbohydrate metabolism presenting that present with cardiomyopathies, arrhythmogenic disorders and/or structural cardiac defects. We identified 58 IMDs presenting with cardiac complications: 3 defects of sugar/sugar-linked transporters (GLUT3, GLUT10, THTR1); 2 disorders of the pentose phosphate pathway (G6PDH, TALDO); 9 diseases of glycogen metabolism (GAA, GBE1, GDE, GYG1, GYS1, LAMP2, RBCK1, PRKAG2, G6PT1); 29 congenital disorders of glycosylation (ALG3, ALG6, ALG9, ALG12, ATP6V1A, ATP6V1E1, B3GALTL, B3GAT3, COG1, COG7, DOLK, DPM3, FKRP, FKTN, GMPPB, MPDU1, NPL, PGM1, PIGA, PIGL, PIGN, PIGO, PIGT, PIGV, PMM2, POMT1, POMT2, SRD5A3, XYLT2); 15 carbohydrate-linked lysosomal storage diseases (CTSA, GBA1, GLA, GLB1, HEXB, IDUA, IDS, SGSH, NAGLU, HGSNAT, GNS, GALNS, ARSB, GUSB, ARSK). With this systematic review we aim to raise awareness about the cardiac presentations in carbohydrate-linked IMDs and draw attention to carbohydrate-linked pathogenic mechanisms that may underlie cardiac complications.

Abstract
Partial loss-of-function mutations in glycosylation pathways underlie a set of rare diseases called Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDGs). In particular, DPAGT1-CDG is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the first step in N-glycosylation, DPAGT1, and this disorder currently lacks effective therapies. To identify potential therapeutic targets for DPAGT1-CDG, we performed CRISPR knockout screens in Drosophila cells for genes associated with better survival and glycoprotein levels under DPAGT1 inhibition. We identified hundreds of candidate genes that may be of therapeutic benefit. Intriguingly, inhibition of the mannosyltransferase Dpm1, or its downstream glycosylation pathways, could rescue two in vivo models of DPAGT1 inhibition and ER stress, even though impairment of these pathways alone usually causes CDGs. While both in vivo models ostensibly cause cellular stress (through DPAGT1 inhibition or a misfolded protein), we found a novel difference in fructose metabolism that may indicate glycolysis as a modulator of DPAGT1-CDG. Our results provide new therapeutic targets for DPAGT1-CDG, include the unique finding of Dpm1-related pathways rescuing DPAGT1 inhibition, and reveal a novel interaction between fructose metabolism and ER stress.

Abstract
The second step of eukaryotic lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) biosynthesis is catalyzed by the conserved ALG13/ALG14 heterodimeric UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transferase (GnTase). In humans, mutations in ALG13 or ALG14 lead to severe neurological disorders with a multisystem phenotype, known as ALG13/14-CDG (congenital disorders of glycosylation). How these mutations relate to disease is unknown because to date, a reliable GnTase assay for studying the ALG13/14 complex is lacking. Here we describe the development of a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based quantitative GnTase assay using chemically synthesized GlcNAc-pyrophosphate-dolichol as the acceptor and purified human ALG13/14 dimeric enzyme. This assay enabled us to demonstrate that in contrast to the literature, only the shorter human ALG13 isoform 2, but not the longer isoform 1 forms a functional complex with ALG14 that participates in LLO synthesis. The longer ALG13 isoform 1 does not form a complex with ALG14 and therefore lacks GnTase activity. Importantly, we further established a quantitative assay for GnTase activities of ALG13- and ALG14-CDG variant alleles, demonstrating that GnTase deficiency is the cause of ALG13/14-CDG phenotypes.

Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation are a continuously expanding group of monogenic disorders of glycoprotein and glycolipid glycan biosynthesis. These disorders mostly manifest with multisystem involvement. Individuals with ALG8-CDG commonly present with hypotonia, protein-losing enteropathy, and hepatic involvement. Here, we describe seven unreported individuals diagnosed with ALG8-CDG based on biochemical and molecular testing and we identify nine novel variants in ALG8, bringing the total to 26 individuals with ALG8-CDG in the medical literature. In addition to the typical multisystem involvement documented in ALG8-CDG, our cohort includes the two oldest patients reported and further expands the phenotype of ALG8-CDG to include stable intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder and other neuropsychiatric symptoms. We further expand the clinical features in a variety of organ systems including ocular, musculoskeletal, dermatologic, endocrine, and cardiac abnormalities and suggest a comprehensive evaluation and monitoring strategy to improve clinical management.

Abstract
Steroid 5α-reductase type 3 congenital disorder of glycosylation (SRD5A3-CDG) is a rare metabolic disease mainly characterized by psychomotor disability, visual impairment, and variable eye malformations caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants in SRD5A3. So far, only 23 distinct mutations were described. Exome sequencing in 32-year old monozygotic male twins revealed only the heterozygous splice variant c.562+3delG in SRD5A3, but no second variant. The twins presented with psychomotor deficit and a complex eye disease including retinal dystrophy, pallor of the papilla, nystagmus, and strabismus suggestive of SRD5A3-CDG. Only when applying exome-based copy number analysis, we identified as a second compound heterozygous variant a previously not reported tandem duplication of exons 2-4 in SRD5A3. Next to the typical skeletal anomalies of SRD5A3-CDG such as kyphosis and scoliosis, extension deficits of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints IV were observed. Since similar contractures were described once in a patient with SRD5A3-CDG, we suggest that this rare symptom is possibly associated with SRD5A3-CDG. Our findings further expand the mutational and clinical spectrum of SRD5A3-CDG and emphasize the importance of an intragenic copy number analysis in patients with strong clinical suspicion of SRD5A3-CDG and only one detectable sequence variant.

Abstract
Background: Mutations of genes involved in the synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins lead to rare syndromes called glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins biosynthesis defects. Alterations of their structure and function in these disorders impair often fundamental processes in cells, resulting in severe clinical image. This study aimed to provide a systematic review of GPIBD cases reports published in English-language literature. Methods: The browsing of open-access databases (PubMed, PubMed Central. and Medline) was conducted, followed by statistical analysis of gathered information concerning neurological symptomatology. The inclusion criteria were: studies on humans, age at onset (<18 y.o.), and report of GPIBD cases with adequate data on the genetic background and symptomatology. Exclusion criteria were: publication type (manuscripts, personal communication, review articles); reports of cases of GPI biosynthesis genes mutations in terms of other disorders; reports of GPIBD cases concentrating on non-neurological symptoms; or articles concentrating solely on the genetic issues of GPI biosynthesis. Risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Brigs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists. Data synthesis was conducted using STATISTICA 13.3.721.1 (StatSoft Polska Sp. z.o.o.). Used tests were chi-square, Fisher's exact test (for differences in phenotype), and Mann-Whitney U test (for differences in onset of developmental delay). Results: Browsing returned a total of 973 articles which, after ruling out the repetitions and assessing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, led to final inclusion of 77 articles (337 GPIBD cases) in the analysis. The main outcomes were prevalence of neurological symptoms, onset and semiology of seizures and their response to treatment, and onset of developmental delay. Based on this data a synthesis of phenotypical differences between the groups of GPIBD cases and the general GPIBD cases population was made. Discussion: A synthetical analysis of neurological components in clinical image of GPIBD patients was presented. It highlights the main features of these disorders, which might be useful in clinical practice for consideration in differential diagnosis with children presenting with early-onset seizures and developmental delay. The limitation of this review is the scarcity of the specific data in some reports, concerning the semiology and onset of two main features of GPIBD.

Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), inherited metabolic diseases caused by defects in glycosylation, are characterized by a high frequency of intellectual disability (ID) and various clinical manifestations. Two siblings with ID, dysmorphic features, and epilepsy were examined using mass spectrometry of serum transferrin, which revealed a CDG type 2 pattern. Whole-exome sequencing showed that both patients were homozygous for a novel pathogenic variant of MAN1B1 (NM_016219.4:c.1837del) inherited from their healthy parents. We conducted a HPLC analysis of sialylated N-linked glycans released from total plasma proteins and characterized the α1,2-mannosidase I activity of the lymphocyte microsome fraction. The accumulation of monosialoglycans was observed in MAN1B1-deficient patients, indicating N-glycan-processing defects. The enzymatic activity of MAN1B1 was compromised in patient-derived lymphocytes. The present patients exhibited unique manifestations including early-onset epileptic encephalopathy and cerebral infarction. They also showed coagulation abnormalities and hypertransaminasemia. Neither sibling had truncal obesity, which is one of the characteristic features of MAN1B1-CDG.

The Estimated Prevalence of N-Linked Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Across Various Populations Based on Allele Frequencies in General Population Databases. Front Genet 2021; 12:719437.

Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a widely acknowledged group of metabolic diseases. PMM2-CDG is the most frequently diagnosed CDG with a prevalence as high as one in 20,000. In contrast, the prevalence of other CDG types remains unknown. This study aimed to analyze the estimated prevalence of different N-linked protein glycosylation disorders. We extracted allele frequencies for diverse populations from The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), encompassing variant frequency information from 141,456 individuals. To identify pathogenic variants, we used the ClinVar database as a primary source. High confidence loss-of-function variants as defined by the LOFTEE algorithm were also classified as pathogenic. After summing up population frequencies for pathogenic alleles, estimated disease birth prevalence values with confidence intervals were calculated using the Bayesian method. We first validated our approach using two more common recessive disorders (cystic fibrosis and phenylketonuria) by showing that the estimated prevalences calculated from population allele frequencies were in accordance with previously published epidemiological studies. Among assessed 27 autosomal recessive N-glycosylation disorders, the only disease with estimated birth prevalence higher than one in 100,000 was PMM2-CDG (in both, all gnomAD individuals and those with European ancestry). The combined prevalence of 27 different N-glycosylation disorders was around one in 22,000 Europeans but varied considerably across populations. We will show estimated prevalence data from diverse populations and explain the possible pitfalls of this analysis. Still, we are confident that these data will guide CDG research and clinical care to identify CDG across populations.

Abstract
Proteoglycosylation is the addition of monosaccharides or glycans to the protein peptide chain. This is a common post-translational modification of proteins with a variety of biological functions. At present, more than half of all biopharmaceuticals in clinic are modified by glycosylation. Most glycoproteins are potential drug targets and biomarkers for disease diagnosis. Therefore, in-depth study of glycan structure of glycoproteins will ultimately improve the sensitivity and specificity of glycoproteins for clinical disease detection. With the deepening of research, the function and application value of glycans and glycosylation has gradually emerged. This review systematically introduces the latest research progress of glycans and glycosylation. It encompasses six cancers, four viruses, and their latest discoveries in Alzheimer's disease, allergic diseases, congenital diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, inflammation, and aging.

Cystic kidney diseases associated with mutations in phosphomannomutase 2 promotor: a large spectrum of phenotypes. Pediatr Nephrol 2021; 36:2361-2369.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Co-occurrence of polycystic kidney disease and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia has been reported in children in a few families associated with a variant in the promotor of the PMM2 gene, at position -167 upstream of the coding sequence. PMM2 encodes phosphomannomutase 2, a key enzyme in N-glycosylation. While biallelic coding PMM2 mutations are involved in congenital disorder of glycosylation CDG1A, that particular variant in the promoter of the gene, either in the homozygous state or associated with a mutation in the coding exons of the gene, is thought to restrict the N-glycosylation defect to the kidney and the pancreas. METHODS Targeted exome sequencing of a panel of genes involved in monogenic kidney diseases. RESULTS We identified a PMM2 variant at position -167 associated with a pathogenic PMM2 variant in the coding exons in 3 families, comprising 6 cases affected with a cystic kidney disease. The spectrum of phenotypes was very broad, from extremely enlarged fetal cystic kidneys in the context of a COACH-like syndrome, to isolated cystic kidney disease with small kidneys, slowly progressing toward kidney failure in adulthood. Hypoglycemia was reported only in one case. CONCLUSION These data show that the PMM2 promotor variation, in trans of a PMM2 coding mutation, is associated with a wide spectrum of kidney phenotypes, and is not always associated with extra-renal symptoms. When present, extra-renal defects may include COACH-like syndrome. These data prompt screening of PMM2 in unresolved cases of fetal hyperechogenic/cystic kidneys as well as in cystic kidney disease in children and adults. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
MAN1B1-CDG is a multisystem disorder caused by mutations in MAN1B1, encoding the endoplasmic reticulum mannosyl-oligosaccharide alpha-1,2-mannnosidase. A defect leads to dysfunction within the degradation of misfolded glycoproteins. We present two additional patients with MAN1B1-CDG and a resulting defect in endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation. One patient (P2) is carrying the previously undescribed p.E663K mutation. A therapeutic trial in patient 1 (P1) using disulfiram with the rationale to generate an attenuation of translation and thus a balanced, restored ER glycoprotein synthesis failed. No improvement of the transferrin glycosylation profile was seen.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in ALG13 (ALG13 UDP-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit) cause an X-linked congenital disorder of glycosylation (ALG13-CDG) where individuals have variable clinical phenotypes that include developmental delay, intellectual disability, infantile spasms, and epileptic encephalopathy. Girls with a recurrent de novo c.3013C>T; p.(Asn107Ser) variant have normal transferrin glycosylation. Using a highly sensitive, semi-quantitative flow injection-electrospray ionization-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-QTOF/MS) N-glycan assay, we report subtle abnormalities in N-glycans that normally account for <0.3% of the total plasma glycans that may increase up to 0.5% in females with the p.(Asn107Ser) variant. Among our 11 unrelated ALG13-CDG individuals, one male had abnormal serum transferrin glycosylation. We describe seven previously unreported subjects including three novel variants in ALG13 and report a milder neurodevelopmental course. We also summarize the molecular, biochemical, and clinical data for the 53 previously reported ALG13-CDG individuals. We provide evidence that ALG13 pathogenic variants may mildly alter N-linked protein glycosylation in both female and male subjects, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Abstract
Objective Asparagine‐linked glycosylation 13 (ALG13) deficiencies have been repeatedly described in the literature with the clinical phenotype of a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Most cases were females carrying the recurrent ALG13 de novo variant, p.(Asn107Ser), with normal transferrin electrophoresis. Methods We delineate the phenotypic spectrum of 38 individuals, 37 girls and one boy, 16 of them novel and 22 published, with the most common pathogenic ALG13 variant p.(Asn107Ser) and additionally report the phenotype of three individuals carrying other likely pathogenic ALG13 variants. Results The phenotypic spectrum often comprised pharmacoresistant epilepsy with epileptic spasms, mostly with onset within the first 6 months of life and with spasm persistence in one‐half of the cases. Tonic seizures were the most prevalent additional seizure type. Electroencephalography showed hypsarrhythmia and at a later stage of the disease in one‐third of all cases paroxysms of fast activity with electrodecrement. ALG13‐related DEE was usually associated with severe to profound developmental delay; ambulation was acquired by one‐third of the cases, whereas purposeful hand use was sparse or completely absent. Hand stereotypies and dyskinetic movements including dystonia or choreoathetosis were relatively frequent. Verbal communication skills were absent or poor, and eye contact and pursuit were often impaired. Significance X‐linked ALG13‐related DEE usually manifests as West syndrome with severe to profound developmental delay. It is predominantly caused by the recurrent de novo missense variant p.(Asn107Ser). Comprehensive functional studies will be able to prove or disprove an association with congenital disorder of glycosylation.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in Steroid 5 alpha reductase type 3 (SRD5A3) cause rare inherited congenital disorder of glycosylation known as SRD5A3-CDG (MIM# 612379). To date, 43 affected individuals have been reported. Despite the development of various dysmorphic features in significant number of patients, facial recognition entity has not yet been established for SRD5A3-CDG. Herein, we reported a novel SRD5A3 missense pathogenic variant c.460 T > C p.(Ser154Pro). The 3D structural modeling of the SRD5A3 protein revealed additional transmembrane α-helices and predicted that the p.(Ser154Pro) variant is located in a potential active site and is capable of reducing its catalytic efficiency. Based on phenotypes of our patients and all published SRD5A3-CDG cases, we identified the most common clinical features as well as some recurrent dysmorphic features such as arched eyebrows, wide eyes, shallow nasal bridge, short nose, and large mouth. Based on facial digital 2D images, we successfully designed and validated a SRD5A3-CDG computer based dysmorphic facial analysis, which achieved 92.5% accuracy. The current work integrates genotypic, 3D structural modeling and phenotypic characteristics of CDG-SRD5A3 cases with the successful development of computer tool for accurate facial recognition of CDG-SRD5A3 complex cases to assist in the diagnosis of this particular disorder globally.

Abstract
Asparagine-linked glycosylation 13 homolog (ALG13) encodes a nonredundant, highly conserved, X-linked uridine diphosphate (UDP)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase required for the synthesis of lipid linked oligosaccharide precursor and proper N-linked glycosylation. De novo variants in ALG13 underlie a form of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy known as EIEE36, but given its essential role in glycosylation, it is also considered a congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG), ALG13-CDG. Twenty-four previously reported ALG13-CDG cases had de novo variants, but surprisingly, unlike most forms of CDG, ALG13-CDG did not show the anticipated glycosylation defects, typically detected by altered transferrin glycosylation. Structural homology modeling of two recurrent de novo variants, p.A81T and p.N107S, suggests both are likely to impact the function of ALG13. Using a corresponding ALG13-deficient yeast strain, we show that expressing yeast ALG13 with either of the highly conserved hotspot variants rescues the observed growth defect, but not its glycosylation abnormality. We present molecular and clinical data on 29 previously unreported individuals with de novo variants in ALG13. This more than doubles the number of known cases. A key finding is that a vast majority of the individuals presents with West syndrome, a feature shared with other CDG types. Among these, the initial epileptic spasms best responded to adrenocorticotropic hormone or prednisolone, while clobazam and felbamate showed promise for continued epilepsy treatment. A ketogenic diet seems to play an important role in the treatment of these individuals.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex genetic disease that is instigated and amplified by the confluence of multiple genetic and environmental variables that perturb the immune-microbiome axis. The challenge of dissecting pathological mechanisms underlying IBD has led to the development of transformative approaches in human genetics and functional genomics. Here we describe IBD as a model disease in the context of leveraging human genetics to dissect interactions in cellular and molecular pathways that regulate homeostasis of the mucosal immune system. Finally, we synthesize emerging insights from multiple experimental approaches into pathway paradigms and discuss future prospects for disease-subtype classification and therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) includes ALG8 deficiency, a protein N-glycosylation defect with a broad clinical spectrum. If most of the 15 previously reported patients present an early-onset multisystem severe disease and early death, three patients including the cas princeps, present long-term survival and less severe symptoms. METHODS In order to further characterize ALG8-CDG, two new ALG8 patients are described and mRNA analyses of the ALG8-CDG cas princeps were effected. RESULTS One new patient exhibited a hepato-intestinal and neurological phenotype with two novel variants (c.91A > C p.Thr31Pro; c.139dup p.Thr47Asnfs*12). The other new patient, homozygous for a known variant (c.845C > T p.Ala282Val), presented a neurological phenotype with epilepsy, intellectual disability and retinis pigmentosa. The cas princeps ALG8-CDG patient was reported to have two heterozygous frameshift variants predicted to be without activity. We now described a novel ALG8 transcript variant in this patient and the 3D model of the putative encoded protein reveals no major difference with that of the normal ALG8 protein. CONCLUSION The description of the two new ALG8 patients affirms that ALG8-CDG is a severe disease. In the cas princeps, as the originally described frameshift variants are degraded, the novel variant is promoted and could explain a milder phenotype.

Abstract
Phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2-CDG) is the most common congenital disorder of N-glycosylation and is caused by a deficient PMM2 activity. The clinical presentation and the onset of PMM2-CDG vary among affected individuals ranging from a severe antenatal presentation with multisystem involvement to mild adulthood presentation limited to minor neurological involvement. Management of affected patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. In this article, a systematic review of the literature on PMM2-CDG was conducted by a group of international experts in different aspects of CDG. Our managment guidelines were initiated based on the available evidence-based data and experts' opinions. This guideline mainly addresses the clinical evaluation of each system/organ involved in PMM2-CDG, and the recommended management approach. It is the first systematic review of current practices in PMM2-CDG and the first guidelines aiming at establishing a practical approach to the recognition, diagnosis and management of PMM2-CDG patients.

Abstract
This report is on two novel patients with RFT1-CDG. Their phenotype is characterized by mild psychomotor disability, behavioral problems, ataxia, and mild dysmorphism. Neither of them shows signs of epilepsy, which was observed in all RFT1-CDG patients reported to date (n = 14). Also, deafness, which is often associated with this condition, was not observed in our patients. Molecular analysis of RFT1 showed biallelic missense variants including three novel ones: c.827G > A (p.G276D), c.73C > T (p.R25W), and c.208T > C (p.C70R).
