Abstract

Genetic defects in glycosyltransferases are responsible for a number of developmental defects and diseases known as congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs). Peters'-plus syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is now known to be a CDG. This syndrome is characterized by a specific malformation of the eye that includes corneal opaqueness and iridocorneal adhesions (Peters' anomaly). Affected individuals are short in stature and have short limbs, and may have cleft lip/palate, defects in the central nervous system, heart, and various other organs. The phenotype varies in severity, ranging from death in early childhood to a general delay in growth and development, and is often associated with mental retardation. The mutations responsible for Peters'-plus syndrome inactivate a beta1,3-glucosyltransferase whose function is to add a glucose moiety to O-linked fucose, forming a rare glucose-beta1,3-fucose disaccharide. This disaccharide modification is specific to thrombospondin type 1 repeats (TSRs), domains found in extracellular proteins that function in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and signalling. Some ninety human proteins contain TSRs, but thus far the disaccharide has been demonstrated on only thrombospondi...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
