Genes, crianças e pediatras

A 14 month-old boy presented with failure to thrive and severe mental and motor development delay. On physical examination he presented with severe axial hypotonia and dysmorphic syndrome: peculiar facies with small eyes, micrognathia, raised intermamilar distance. He also had multissistemic involvement with nephritic proteinuria, hypertrophy cardiomiopathy with peri­cardial effusion, raised transaminases, functional deficit of coagulation proteins and unspecific changes of retinal pigmentation. This case illustrates the typical presentation of congenital disorder of glycosilation (CDG) type Ia.
