We present two sibs with congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) type Id. Each shows severe global delay, failure to thrive, seizures, microcephaly, axial
hypotonia
, and
disaccharidase deficiency
. One sib has more severe digestive issues, while the other is more neurologically impaired. Each is compound heterozygous for a novel point mutation and an already known mutation in the ALG3 gene that leads to the synthesis of a severely truncated oligosaccharide precursor for N-glycans. The defect is corrected by introduction of a normal ALG3 cDNA. CDG should be ruled out in all patients with severe seizures and failure to thrive. (c) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
