Abstract: | The congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are characterized by defects in N-linked glycan biosynthesis that result from mutations in genes encoding proteins directly involved in the glycosylation pathway. Here we describe two siblings with a fatal form of CDG caused by a mutation in the gene encoding COG-7, a subunit of the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex. The mutation impairs integrity of the COG complex and alters Golgi trafficking, resulting in disruption of multiple glycosylation pathways. These cases represent a new type of CDG in which the molecular defect lies in a protein that affects the trafficking and function of the glycosylation machinery. |
