Disease Profile

PGM1-CDG

Prevalence
Prevalence estimates on Rare Medical Network websites are calculated based on data available from numerous sources, including US and European government statistics, the NIH, Orphanet, and published epidemiologic studies. Rare disease population data is recognized to be highly variable, and based on a wide variety of source data and methodologies, so the prevalence data on this site should be assumed to be estimated and cannot be considered to be absolutely correct.

Inheritance

Autosomal dominant A pathogenic variant in only one gene copy in each cell is sufficient to cause an autosomal dominant disease.

no.svg

Autosomal recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of each gene of the chromosome are needed to cause an autosomal recessive disease and observe the mutant phenotype.

no.svg

X-linked
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.

no.svg

X-linked
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.

no.svg

Mitochondrial or multigenic Mitochondrial genetic disorders can be caused by changes (mutations) in either the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA that lead to dysfunction of the mitochondria and inadequate production of energy.

no.svg

Multigenic or multifactor Inheritance involving many factors, of which at least one is genetic but none is of overwhelming importance, as in the causation of a disease by multiple genetic and environmental factors.

Summary

PGM1-CDG is one of the many subtypes of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), which are inherited diseases that affect the body's process of adding sugar building blocks to proteins (glycosylation).[1] There are many steps in glycosylation, each of which is controlled by a different gene. The type of CDG a person has depends on which gene is involved.[2] 

The signs and symptoms of PGM1-CDG can be different from person to person. They may include cleft palate or bifid uvula; low blood sugar (hypoglycemia); endocrine disorders; muscle disease, leading to muscle weakness or death of muscle fibers (rhabdomyolysis); liver disease; blood clotting problems; and a weak and enlarged heart chamber (dilated cardiomyopathy).[1][2] Some people with PGM1-CDG have central nervous system involvement such as seizures, development delay, or intellectual disability.[2]

PGM1-CDG is caused by mutations in the PGM1 gene and inheritance is autosomal recessive.[1][2][3] The diagnosis may be suspected based on symptoms and specific blood test results, and it is confirmed with genetic testing.[1] Treatment depends on the symptoms and severity in each person and may include oral D-galactose supplementation, standard treatment of hypoglycemia, and/or heart medications or heart transplantation for cardiomyopathy.[1][2] The course of the disorder and whether symptoms or complications may affect the lifespan are difficult to predict and vary among people with PGM1-CDG.[4]

Symptoms

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.

Organizations

Support and advocacy groups can help you connect with other patients and families, and they can provide valuable services. Many develop patient-centered information and are the driving force behind research for better treatments and possible cures. They can direct you to research, resources, and services. Many organizations also have experts who serve as medical advisors or provide lists of doctors/clinics. Visit the group’s website or contact them to learn about the services they offer. Inclusion on this list is not an endorsement by GARD.
