Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation: A Disease with Many Faces |
 |
|
|
|
|
Various genetic defects can be the reason for faulty synthesis of carbohydrate-protein complexes. Since protein-glycosylation plays an important role in a large number of various biochemical and cellular processes, different types of genetic defects surface in a wide variety of symptoms, making the diagnosis of CDG-Syndrome very difficult. Scientists assume that a large number of CDG patients are not properly diagnosed and, therefore, do not receive the right medical treatment.
