ALG14-congenital disorder of glycosylation

ALG14-congenital disorder of glycosylation, also known as ALG14-CDG, is a rare condition caused by a deficiency in the ALG14 enzyme. This enzyme plays a key role in the assembly of lipid linked oligosaccharides, which are crucial for the process of N-glycosylation of glycoproteins. When the ALG14 enzyme is not functioning properly, the assembly of these sugar structures is incomplete. This leads to insufficient glycosylation of proteins, which can affect various body systems. Detailed information about the full clinical spectrum of this condition is currently limited.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.
