| 266265 | OMIM | Congenital disorder of glycosylation 2C (CDG2C) | A multisystem disorder caused by a defect in glycoprotein biosynthesis and characterized by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins. Congenital disorders of glycosylation result in a wide variety of clinical features, such as defects in the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency. The broad spectrum of features reflects the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions. The clinical features of CDG2C include mental retardation, short stature, facial stigmata, and recurrent bacterial peripheral infections with persistently elevated peripheral leukocytes. Biochemically, CDG2C is characterized by a lack of fucosylated glycoconjugates, including selectin ligands. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
