Congenital disorder of glycosylation
MONDO:0015286Congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) is a fast growing group of inborn errors of metabolism characterized by defective activity of enzymes that participate in glycosylation (modification of proteins and other macromolecules by adding and processing of oligosaccharide side chains). CDG is comprised of phenotypically diverse disorders affecting multiple systems including the central nervous system, muscle function, immunity, endocrine system, and coagulation. The numerous entities in this group are subdivided, based on the synthetic pathway affected, into disorder of protein N-glycosylation, disorder of protein O-glycosylation, disorder of multiple glycosylation, and disorder of glycosphingolipid and glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor glycosylation.
Also known as: CDG, carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome, carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, congenital disorder of glycosylation, carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndromes, congenital disorders of glycosylation

Back surgery boost: Bone-Marrow injection may repair discs
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether adding a bone-marrow concentrate injection during routine back surgery helps the spinal disc heal better. About 90 adults with a herniated disc will get either surgery alone or surgery plus the injection. Researchers will use MRI scans and pain questionna…

Could a common supplement help a rare disease? early trial begins
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-stage trial is testing the safety of a dietary supplement called NMN in 8 people with a rare genetic disorder known as DHDDS-CDG, which affects movement and development. Participants will take 250 mg of NMN daily for 6 months, with an optional 12-month follow-up. The m…

Hope for rare immune disease: new drug enters final testing
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests an experimental drug called AVTX-803 in people with leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD II), a rare genetic condition that weakens the immune system and leads to frequent infections. The trial will compare the drug against a period without treatment to see…

Experimental sugar therapy tested for ultra-rare immune disorder
Disease control Recruiting nowThis phase 3 study is testing the long-term safety and effectiveness of AVTX-803, a form of L-fucose, in people with leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD II), a rare genetic disorder that weakens the immune system. Only 2 participants who completed a previous study are enro…

Major study aims to better measure muscular dystrophy progression
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis 24-month observational study will follow up to 1000 people with certain types of muscular dystrophy (LGMD, DM2, and late-onset Pompe disease) aged 6-50. Researchers want to see if specific physical tests, like the North Star Assessment and a 100-meter walk, are good ways to …
