SLC39A8-CDG

Alternate names

SLC39A8-CDG Is also known as slc39a8 deficiency, cdg2n, congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2n, cdg iin, cdg syndrome type iin, carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome type iin, cdgiin, cdg-iin, congenital disorder of glycosylation type iin

Description

Congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIn (CDG2N) is an autosomal recessive severe multisystem developmental disorder characterized by delayed psychomotor development apparent from infancy, hypotonia, and variable additional features, such as short stature, seizures, visual impairment, and cerebellar atrophy. Serum transferrin analysis shows a CDG type II pattern (summary by Boycott et al., 2015 and Park et al., 2015).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of CDG type II, see CDG2A (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of SLC39A8-CDG

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Short stature
  • Generalized hypotonia
