Some CDG subtypes, like SSR4-CDG 1y, have been classified as connective tissue disorders. [4] Ocular abnormalities of PMM2-CDG include: myopia, infantile esotropia, delayed visual maturation, peripheral neuropathy (PN), strabismus, nystagmus, optic disc pallor, and reduced rod function on electroretinography.

PMM2 deficiency or PMM2-CDG, previously CDG-Ia, is a very rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in PMM2. It is an autosomal recessive disease that is the most common type of congenital disorder of glycosylation or CDG. [2] PMM2-CDG is the most common of a growing family of more than 130 extremely rare inherited metabolic disorders. [3]
SRD5A3-CDG is an ultra-rare disorder with a frequency of less than 1 in 10 million. [12] As of 2018, there were at least 38 reported cases of SRD5A3-CDG from 26 different families. While the exact number of patients worldwide is unknown, most recorded cases so far have been reported from Afghanistan, the Czech Republic, Iran, Pakistan, Poland ...
ALG1-CDG is an autosomal recessive congenital disorder of glycosylation caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in ALG1. The first cases of ALG1-CDG were described in 2004, and the causative gene was identified at the same time. This disorder was originally designated CDG-IK, under earlier nomenclature for congenital disorders of glycosylation. [1]
MPI-CDG differs from most other described glycosylation disorders due to its lack of central nervous system involvement, and because it has treatment options besides supportive care. Treatment with oral mannose has been shown to improve most symptoms of the disease. [2] If left untreated, MPI-CDG can be fatal. [1] MPI-CDG was previously known ...
Congenital muscular dystrophies are autosomal recessively-inherited muscle diseases.They are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by muscle weakness which is present at birth and the different changes on muscle biopsy that ranges from myopathic to overtly dystrophic due to the age at which the biopsy takes place.
Dunaway opens up about her struggles with manic depression and alcoholism, particularly in terms of how her bipolar disorder has impacted life behind and in front of the cameras.
Triosephosphate isomerase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive [2] metabolic disorder which was initially described in 1965. [3]It is a unique glycolytic enzymopathy that is characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia, cardiomyopathy, susceptibility to infections, severe neurological dysfunction, and, in most cases, death in early childhood.
