Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation v0.173 GFPT1 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: 15 unrelated families reported with bi-allelic variants and a congenital myasthenic syndrome. Two families with leukoencephalopathy as well as CMS.

The GFPT1 gene encodes an isoform of glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT), which catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from glutamine onto fructose-6-phosphate, yielding glucosamine 6-phosphate and glutamate. It is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. Hexosamine is the obligatory source of essential amino sugars for the synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans. Muscle samples from several patients showed decreased protein glycosylation.; to: 15 unrelated families reported with bi-allelic variants and a congenital myasthenic syndrome.

It is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. Hexosamine is the obligatory source of essential amino sugars for the synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans. Muscle samples from several patients showed decreased protein glycosylation, suggesting this is a disorder of glycosylation. However, there is also some data put forward in PMID 30635494 that this may be a mitochondrial condition.
