Abstract
ALG12-CDG is a rare autosomal recessive type I congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) due to pathogenic variants in ALG12 which encodes the dolichyl-P-mannose:Man-7-GlcNAc-2-PP-dolichyl-alpha-6-mannosyltransferase. Thirteen patients from unrelated 11 families have been reported, most of them result in broad multisystem manifestations with clinical variability. It is important to validate abnormal glycosylation to establish causal relationship. Here, we report two siblings with novel compound heterozygous variants in ALG12: c.443T>C, p.(Leu148Pro) and c.412_413insCGT, p.(Gln137_Phe138insSer). Both patients showed global developmental delay, microcephaly, hypotonia, failure to thrive, facial dysmorphism, skeletal malformations and coagulation abnormalities, which are common in ALG12-CDG. In addition, one of our patients showed left hydronephrosis, which is a novel clinical feature in ALG12-CDG. Brain MRI showed hypoplasia of cerebrum, brain stem and cerebellar vermis in both patients. N-glycosylation defects of trypsin digested transferrin peptides were revealed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), and electrospray ionization MS verified the lack of N-glycans in transferrin. The present...Continue Reading
