Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
Conditions
Brief summary
Researchers are trying to determine the efficacy of a global metabolomic approach in testing for and diagnosing inborn errors of metabolism as opposed to traditional testing methods.
Detailed description
Residual samples will be tested for a variety of biomarkers that may lead to better understanding of these disorders and help develop treatment options.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quantify N-linked glycan intermediates in plasma and urine | length of study, up to 5 years | Measure N-linked glycan intermediates in plasma and urine from PMM2-CDG patients. |
| Develop quantitative biomarkers for PGM1-CDG patients to monitor the efficacy of galactose therapy. | length of study, up to 5 years | Measure the 41 plasma N-glycan levels in 9 PGM1-CDG patients before and after galactose therapy. |
| Develop quantitative biomarkers for SLC35A2-CDG patients and monitor galactose therapy efficacy. | length of study, up to 5 years | Measure levels of plasma N-glycans from 10 SLC35A2-CDG patients before and after galactose therapy. |
| Validate biomarker to diagnose and follow NGLY1 deficiency and monitor N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) therapy response. | length of study, up to 5 years | Measure the level of Sia-Gal-GlcNAc-Asn biomarker excretion during GlCNAc therapy. |
| Validate novel diagnostic biomarkers for ALG13-CDG | length of study, up to 5 years | Measure GlcNAc-β-Asn on glycoproteins in the cells from the already available fibroblast of 9 ALG13 patients. |
