IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents DPAGT1-CDG/CDG-Ij. Characteristic rows include high-arched palate, cataract, contractures, psychomotor retardation, and strabismus. Additional clinical rows include congenital myasthenic syndrome, dysmorphism, type 2 fiber tubular aggregates on muscle EM, epilepsy, exotropia, fatal outcome, feeding difficulties, fetal hypokinesia phenotype, hypertonia, hypotonia, intellectual disability, microcephaly, micrognathia, and nystagmus.

The biochemical rows include normal-to-increased creatine kinase and transaminase, normal-to-increased asialotransferrin and disialotransferrin, low-to-normal fibroblast lipid-linked Man9GlcNAc2, possible type 1 sialotransferrin pattern, low-to-normal tetrasialotransferrin, and decreased antithrombin III. No treatment rows are present.

DisMech phenotype coverage

DisMech has meaningful but incomplete context in Congenital_Myasthenic_Syndrome.yaml. That entry includes DPAGT1 as a causal glycosylation-related CMS gene and describes the N-linked glycosylation branch with tubular aggregates, elevated CK, limb-girdle CMS, and neuromuscular-junction glycoprotein glycosylation defects.

That coverage is not equivalent to a DPAGT1-CDG disease entry. IEMbase frames DPAGT1 as a CDG-Ij disorder with systemic CDG features, fetal hypokinesia, microcephaly, cataract/strabismus, abnormal transferrin, lipid-linked Man9GlcNAc2, and antithrombin III abnormalities. The local CMS file captures the neuromuscular branch but not the multisystem CDG biochemical entity.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: partial local neuromuscular context, but canonical DPAGT1-CDG remains a local disease gap.

The generated UNMAPPED status is understandable because there is no dedicated DPAGT1-CDG file. Manual curation should avoid collapsing DPAGT1-CDG into the CMS umbrella: the IEMbase record combines CMS with broader congenital glycosylation disease.

Curation actions

  • Add a standalone DPAGT1-CDG target before treating this record as fully mapped.
  • Preserve Congenital_Myasthenic_Syndrome.yaml as secondary context for the CMS/tubular-aggregate/CK branch.
  • Carry forward fetal hypokinesia, cataract/strabismus, microcephaly, Man9GlcNAc2, type I transferrin, and antithrombin III rows for future DPAGT1-CDG curation.
