Project description:Review of the analytical and clinical validity as well as of the clinical utility of DNA-based testing for mutations in PGM3 in diagnostic, predictive and prenatal settings, and for risk assessment in relatives.
Project description:Information on the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis in congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) females is scarce. Varying hormonal profiles and degrees of virilization in CDG females suggest a spectrum of yet unidentified mechanisms affected by impaired N-glycosylation. We describe an ALG6D woman who completed puberty with normal gonadotropins and testosterone levels, no virilization, and regular menses. Hormonal follow-up of CDG females is necessary to improve our understanding of the role of glycosylation in pubertal development.
