Clinical and Basic Investigations Into Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation

August 24, 2025 updated by: Eva Morava-Kozicz, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
The purpose of this research is to study the natural history of congenital disorders of glycosylation and its causes and treatments.

Detailed Description

The investigators are conducting a natural history study of patients with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). The study will look into the progression of the disease amongst the participants and also look at the clinical symptoms and how they vary amongst different diseased population groups. The participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires either on their own or with a provider that will grade the severity of disease and document symptoms and diet. Participants will have an opportunity to submit blood, urine, and stool samples that will be tested for biomarkers for CDG.

Participants will also complete dietary food records, physical exams, CDG scores, and the PROMIS questionnaires to assess disease progression and severity.
