Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders caused by a defect in the process of protein glycosylation. In this work, we present a comprehensive glycoprofile analysis of a male patient with a novel mi...

SLC35A2-CDG is a congenital disorder of glycosylation caused by mutations in the SLC35A2 gene encoding a Golgi-localized UDP-galactose transporter. This transporter plays an essential role in glycan synthesis by transporting UDP-galactose from the cy...

In mammalian cells, SLC35A2 delivers UDP–galactose for galactosylation reactions that take place predominantly in the Golgi lumen. Mutations in the corresponding gene cause a subtype of a congenital disorder of glycosylation (SLC35A2-CDG). Alth...

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare genetic and metabolic diseases caused by alterations in glycosylation pathways. Five patients bearing CDG-causing mutations in the SLC35A1 gene encoding the CMP-sialic acid transporter (...

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders with impaired glycosylation of proteins and lipids. These conditions have multisystemic clinical manifestations, resulting in gradually progressive complications incl...

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) wild boar is an excellent model for investigating high-altitude adaptation. In this study, we analyzed genome-wide data from 93 wild boars compiled from various studies worldwide, including the QTP, southern and...

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of genetic disorders that affect protein and lipid glycosylation and glycosylphosphatidylinositol synthesis. More than 100 different disorders have been reported and the number is rapidly increa...

The solute carrier family 35 (SLC35) comprises multiple members of transporters, including a group of proteins known as nucleotide sugar transporters (NSTs), an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) transporter, 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfa...

Introduction: Childhood epilepsy is one of the most common neurological problems. The transferrin isoelectric focusing (TIEF) test is a screening test for congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). We identified abnormal TIEF test in children with...

SLC35A2 encodes the Golgi uridine diphosphate galactose transporter, which is essential for glycosylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Variants in this gene, either germline or somatic, have emerged as causes of diverse neurological disorders ra...

Protein N-glycosylation is a multifactorial process involved in many biological processes. A broad range of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) have been described that feature defects in protein N-glycan biosynthesis. Here, we present insig...

Most plasma proteins, cell membrane proteins and other proteins are glycoproteins with sugar chains attached to the polypeptide-glycans. Glycosylation is the main element of the post-translational transformation of most human proteins. Since glycosyl...

Copper, manganese, and iron are vital elements required for the appropriate development and the general preservation of good health. Additionally, these essential metals play key roles in ensuring proper brain development and function. They also play...
