This paper systematically lists and explains the therapeutic advances being made for CDG. Some therapies are already available, while other are still in early development stages. Nevertheless, many exciting advances have been made in the field of CDG treatments.

This systematic review of the literature identifies CDG subtypes, caused by defects in the O-glycosylation mechanism subtypes, with eye involvement.
We identified eye problem in 15 CDG subtypes, which means that over 60% of all O-glycosylation CDG have vision affectation. We also discuss and describe potential causative molecular mechanisms and present exisitng animal models, as well as explore possible therapeutic avenues. We believe this work can improve diagnosis,care and management of eye impairment in CDG patients, while also guiding research and promoting theray development.

- PATIENT-CENTRICITY IN CDG CARE & RESEARCH
|
29/09/2017
This qualitative study was based on the think thank methodology applied to the CDG Community. It counted with a total of 48 participants, including patients/family members (n = 18), health care professionals (n = 7), researchers (n = 7) and people combining several of these roles (n = 16). Participants came from 20 countries across five continents. Participants were asked to identify their needs and suggest social measures that could result in a better and patient-centred approach to care and research. Suggested. social innovations included peer-support communities, web-based information resources and a CDG expertise platform.

This literature review summarizes cardiac involvement, reported in 20% of CDG.
CDG with cardiac involvement were divided according to the associated type of glycosylation: N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, dolichol synthesis, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis, COG complex, V-ATPase complex, and other glycosylation pathways. The aim of this review was to document and interpret the incidence of heart disease in CDG patients. Heart disorders were grouped into cardiomyopathies, structural defects, and arrhythmogenic disorders. You can find the abstract HERE and order the complete article HERE. |

Liver is among the affected organs in CDG Patients.
In this review, CDG are divided into major and minor categories in terms of severity and frequency of liver disease.
