The CDG (Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation) syndromes are a group of autosomal recessive disorders affecting glycoprotein synthesis. CDG syndrome type If is characterized by psychomotor delay, seizures, failure to thrive, and cutaneous and ocular anomalies.
Features include always present findings: Seizure and Severe global developmental delay; and common findings: Hypertonia, Parietal bossing, Hypsarrhythmia, and Wide anterior fontanel and others. 25 total HPO annotations.

Brain and nerves | 6 | Seizure, Ataxia, Enlarged brain ventricles (ventriculomegaly) |
MPDU1 encodes mannose-P-dolichol utilization defect 1 (247 aa). Required for normal utilization of mannose-dolichol phosphate (Dol-P-Man) in the synthesis of N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides and GPI anchors Highest expression in Cells Cultured fibroblasts (64.0 TPM) and Kidney Medulla (52.5 TPM).
MPDU1-congenital disorder of glycosylation is caused by mutations in the MPDU1 gene on chromosome 17.
The MPDU1 protein participates in MPDU1 L171Sfs*42, Defective MPDU1 causes CDG-1f, and Defective MPDU1 does not promote transfer of Man to (GlcNAc)2 (Man)5 (PP-Dol)1 by ALG3 pathways.
MPDU1 is classified as a druggable target (Transporter category) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for MPDU1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for MPDU1-congenital disorder of glycosylation has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 2 always present features, 9 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for MPDU1-congenital disorder of glycosylation.
209 publications have been identified in PubMed for MPDU1-congenital disorder of glycosylation. Kisho has analyzed 147 by research type. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (50%), Basic Science / Preclinical (37%), and Epidemiology / Natural History (4%).
