malfunction | congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ih (CDG-Ih) is caused by a defect in the dolichyl-P-Glc:Glc1 Man9GlcNAc2-PP-dolichyl alpha1,3-glucosyltransferase (ALG8). Accumulation of the lipid-linked oligosaccharyl intermediates Dol-PP-GlcNAc2Man9 and Dol-PP-GlcNAc2Man9Glc1 in patients' fibroblasts. Mutation analysis of the ALG8 gene identifies in both families a compound heterozygosity for a splice site mutation and a missense mutation (family 1: c.96-2A>G and p.T47P; family 2: c.672+4A>G and p.G275D). The functional effect of the ALG8 splice mutations is analysed on mRNA and the effect of the missense mutations is assayed in ALG8 deficient yeast strains. The molecular and clinical features of three patients from two families with an ALG8 deficiency are described. All three patients show severe, life-threatening multi organ failure and die within their first months of life | Homo sapiens |
