A congenital disorder of glycosylation (previously called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome) is one of several rare inborn errors of metabolism in which glycosylation of a variety of tissue proteins and/or lipids is deficient or defective. Congenital disorders of glycosylation are sometimes known as CDG syndromes.
Image of CD4 co-receptor binding to MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) non-polymorphic region. In molecular biology, CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) is a glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor (TCR). CD4 is found on the surface of immune cells such as helper T cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a rare medical syndrome in which the body has too few CD4 + T lymphocytes, which are a kind of white blood cell. [2] ICL is sometimes characterized as "HIV-negative AIDS", though, in fact, its clinical presentation differs somewhat from that seen with HIV/AIDS. [ 3 ]
Carbohydrate-deficient Glycoprotein Syndrome (CDGS) Type Ia, Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG) Type Ia,Phosphomannomutase Deficiency [1],Jaeken Syndrome, PMM2-CDG , CDG1a PMM2 protein PMM2 deficiency or PMM2-CDG , previously CDG-Ia , is a very rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in PMM2 .
Other features included nystagmus and autistic-like symptoms. Laboratory studies showed a serum transferrin CDG type II pattern and a combined defect in N- and O-glycosylation. After the use of whole exome sequencing, she was found to have compound heterozygous missense mutations (which were later termed as T156R and E196K) in the SLC35A1 gene ...
In addition to IPEX-like symptoms, CD25 deficiency increases susceptibility to viral infections [1] and possibly fungal and bacterial infections. As IL-2 is an important inducer of lymphocyte proliferation , the absence of highly sensitive IL-2 receptors may also significantly hinder activation and clonal expansion of CD8+ and CD4+ lymphocytes ...

The depletion of CD4 T cells and the development of chronic inflammation are signature processes in HIV pathogenesis that propel progression to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). CD4 T cell depleted to the cell count of less than 200cell/μL in blood during AIDS allows various pathogens to escape T cell recognition, thus allowing ...
