Carbohydrate Deficient Glycoprotein Syndrome, also known as CDG syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce proper glycoproteins. Glycoproteins are molecules formed by the combination of proteins and sugar molecules. CDG syndrome is characterized by various symptoms including developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, liver problems, and clotting abnormalities. In medical literature, this condition is often referred to as Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation. While both terms are used, Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation is a broader term that encompasses multiple types and subtypes of CDG syndrome. This awareness about the synonyms for the condition helps spread knowledge and facilitates communication within the medical community, aiding diagnosis and treatment efforts.
