FUT8-CDG is a severe multisystem disorder caused by mutations in , encoding the α-1,6-fucosyltransferase. We report on dizygotic twins with FUT8-CDG presenting with dysmorphisms, failure to thrive, and respiratory abnormalities. Due to the severe phenotype, oral L-fucose supplementation was started. Glycosylation analysis using mass spectrometry indicated a limited response to fucose therapy while the clinical presentation stabilized. Further research is needed to assess the concept of substrate supplementation in FUT8-CDG.
FUT8-CDG是一种严重的多系统疾病,由编码α-1,6-岩藻糖基转移酶的基因突变引起。我们报告了一对患有FUT8-CDG的异卵双胞胎,他们表现出畸形、发育不良和呼吸异常。由于表型严重,开始口服L-岩藻糖补充剂。使用质谱进行的糖基化分析表明,岩藻糖治疗的反应有限,而临床表现稳定。需要进一步研究以评估FUT8-CDG中底物补充的概念。
