Tromp, Tycho R.; Hartgers, Merel L.; Hovingh, G Kees; Vallejo-Vaz, Antonio J.; Ray, Kausik K.; Soran, Handrean; Freiberger, Tomas; Bertolini, StefanoBackground: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is a rare inherited disorder resulting in extremely elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Current guidance about its management and prognosis stems from small studies, mostly from high-income countries. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical and genetic charact...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in PMM2-CDG
Vaes, Laurien; Rymen, Daisy; Cassiman, David; Ligezka, Anna; Vanhoutvin, Nele; Quelhas, D; Morava, Eva; Witters, PeterPMM2-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. We collected the identified genotype, as well as continuous variables indicating the disease severity (based on Nijmegen Pediatric CDG Rating Score or NPCRS) an...

Altassan, Ruqaiah; Radenkovic, Silvia; Edmondson, Andrew C.; Barone, Rita; Brasil, Sandra; Cechova, Anna; Coman, David; Donoghue, SarahPhosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects glycogen metabolism, glycolysis, and protein glycosylation. Previously known as GSD XIV, it was recently reclassified as a congenital disorder of glycosylation, PGM1-CDG. PGM1-CDG usually manifests as a multisystem disease. Most patients present as infants with cleft palate, liver function abnormalities and hypoglycemia, but some pat...
