Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a group of diseases characterized by an abnormal glycosylation of proteins or lipids. It is estimated that more than half of all proteins in our body are glycosylated [1]. Defined as all the sugar chains (glycans) that an organism makes, the glycome is estimated to be 102–104 times larger than the proteome [2]. Given this complexity, it is not surprising that about 2% of our genes encode for proteins that are currently known to participate in glycosylation reactions []. CDGs are classified according to the deficient glycosylated substrates, which can include proteins, lipids, or multiple substrates.
