The probable dolichyl pyrophosphate Glc1Man9GlcNAc2 alpha-1,3-glucosyltransferase (ALG8) (Stanchi et al. 2001, Chantret et al. 2003) normally adds the second glucose moiety to the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor (LLO aka N-glycan precursor) which is required for subsequent N-glycosylation of proteins. Defects in ALG8 can cause congenital disorder of glycosylation 1h (ALG8-CDG, CDG-1h; MIM:608104), a multisystem disorder characterised by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins (Chantret et al. 2003, Schollen et al. 2004). ALG8 deficiency is accompanied by an accumulation of the N-glycan precursor (Glc)1 (GlcNAc)2 (Man)9 (PP-Dol)1. CDG type 1 diseases result in a wide variety of clinical features, such as defects in the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency.
