ALG9-congenital disorder of glycosylation

ALG9-congenital disorder of glycosylation

Definition

A form of congenital disorders of N-linked glycosylation characterized by progressive microcephaly, hypotonia, developmental delay, drug-resistant infantile epilepsy, and hepatomegaly. Additional features that may be observed include failure to thrive, pericardial effusion, renal cysts, skeletal dysplasia, facial dysmorphism (frontal bossing, hypertelorism, depressed nasal bridge, low-seated ears, large mouth) and hydrops fetalis. The disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene ALG9 (11q23).

Also known as ALG9-CDG, ALG9-congenital disorder of glycosylation, carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1L, CDG syndrome type IL, CDG-IL, CDG1L, congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1L, mannosyltransferase 7-9 deficiency — per MONDO
